Bloom Day

I missed Bloom Day. Here is my late entry.

Bronze fennel



Campanula medium



Lilium pardalinum



Shasta daisy



Heirloom dahlia, whose name I do not recall at the moment.



Fuchsia fulgens



Up on the roof, a late sowing of Gilia tricolor in a pot.



Some of the flowers bloomed in an unusual, all-purple form.

Garden Glimpses

Perfect temperatures today--sunny, cool, breezy. The weather in general has been nice recently.





Here's a picture of the ornament I bought in Santa Cruz last week. I can see the collection of glass spheres and pairing them with longer, thinner objects (remember the birdhouse?). Does that sound too penis-y?



I'm more concerned about having too much knicky-knacky stuff in the garden. Well, it's a small collection now--I only have four things. I'm not going to worry about it yet. One object at a time.



It's well past the point every year where the garden becomes hard to move around in, but I have reclaimed a place to sit. So, if you can get to it, you are welcome to sit down. Funkier, more charming chairs are still on my wish list. I have not seen very many that I like, but I haven't started to look yet either.
