Garden Joys of the Week

Alliums & Drymocallis rupestris in bloom.

We have had a real summer week. To the Finnish standards warm, 20 - 24 C,

and even hotter it shall be. Next week we celebrate Midsommer and to celebrate

this fiesta my Midsummer roses shall bloom.

Me and my husband have been hardworking, I in the garden & hubby painting.

Here some mixed impression of this week.

The first roses to bloom in Finland are Pimpinella roses.

The white one is ’Plena’, bright pink ’Poppius’ and the pale pink ’Ruskela’.

The first aquilegias are in bloom. Tagetes Vanilla is a beautiful annual (lower left). 

I like very much Centaurea montana, even though it spreads wildly.

Especially I am fond of its lilac & white versions.

I have not yet decided what to do with spiky Aralia elata - it spreads so annoyingly!

Also those tiny yellow Meconopsis cambrica self seed eagerly and they are tough to weed.

 Tellima grandiflora (upper left) is an excellent ground cover.  Spreads eagerly but is easy to weed.

Clematis recta shall bloom next week.

Wishing you a lovely weekend!
