It's time again to share what's blooming in your garden at May Dreams Garden. This month in my yard, the predominant colors are purple, orange and white. Pruned up the crepe myrtle and chopped the past-prime artichoke off at the base Thursday.
Indian mallow (cosmos and standing cypress beneath)
Trumpet vine is a beast, a beautiful beast that lends a lushness to the backyard.
It also threatens to shade out the other plants. I could easily prune an armload of this vine a week right now.
I finally have fireworks gomphrena! Lemongrass and mint in the background.
Orange cosmos are popping up everywhere, but I love them next to the bronze fennel. Garden muse Lena lurking behind.
Late larkspur coming up at random.
Milkweed
Curb strip dependables: blackfoot daisy and globe mallow
Mexican petunia volunteers (tropicana canna foliage in the middle)
Cigar plant
Beach vitex
White Rose of Sharon in my neighbor's yard provides a starry sky effect every morning and evening.
I inherited this bouquet on my sister's way out of town...so nice.
Hope everyone has a lovely, bloom-filled weekend!

Purple, orange and white -- my fav combo with a little chartreuse and pale yellow thrown in.
Your Lena, my Ike, garden helpers.
I think I might find some great ideas in your blog. Some of my best plants came from Texas seeds: Pride of Barbados, Esperanza and Duranta. Wait, I think I bought that Duranta but I got the idea from Texas.
Happy Bloom Day.
Chartreuse! That's exactly the color I need to throw in the mix (I'm also a fan). Pride of Barbados is also one of my faves.
