Autumn crocus coming up and blooming (these are new this year):
The Mexican Tuberose are getting ready for their second round of blooming this year. I adore these bulbs.:
Mexican Mint Marigold:
Copper Canyon Daisy. These are light sensitive and only bloom when the days are short in the spring and fall. Don't plant them near an evening light source (street light/house light) or they get all confused and won't bloom:
Mountain Sage:
Mealy Blue Sage covered in skippers (the butterflies, not the fast food fish for those who know what I am talking about):
Shrimp Plant:
Coneflower:
Mexican Bush Sage:
Texas Bluebell (Yep, still flowering. Gotta love this one):
That crocus is SO cool! My bluebell seems to have croaked, but I'm not sure I have the good native variety. Yours is lovely! Great grove of shrimp plants, too.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that about copper canyon daisies and light -- good to know!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers for Bloom Day! I have to try the autumn crocus, the flowers are such a lovely shade of blue-violet. Your Copper Canyon Daisy looks glorious with the Agave.
ReplyDeleteIris,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope the autumn crocus survive to bloom next year, too. They are new this year and experimental :)
Caroline,
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes I hear people complain that the copper canyon daisy won't bloom for them, and I think to myself that they must have them planted near a night light source.
Sweet bay,
ReplyDeleteThanks! The crocus are experimental, and I hope they survive to put on a show next fall too!
