Tiny Flowers
All the big charismatic flowers of spring are long gone, and the big charismatic flowers of summer are just buds. (Why are my daylilies so slow this year?) So what's in bloom now? Tiny flowers. Now, I actually like tiny flowers quite a lot, but it's hard to make much of a display out of them. Closeup pictures help. I've added some more pictures of the Cuphea collection.
Oh, I do have some clematis blooming, but I never really liked the color and I'm thinking of getting rid of them anyway. Check that - I'm thinking of getting rid of the light-purple-mauve ones. The dark blue Clematis integrifolia stays, but I missed photographing the main flush of flowers this year. Well, it looks much the same as it did last year.

My Daylilies are very late this year too. I'm in NJ, zone 6. It's funny, though, the wild ones growing in my woodlot are in full bloom, but the cultivated varieties in my gardens are just sending up flower stalks.
I love your blog, by the way!
Take care.
My first daylily opened today, but the neighbors' have been blooming for days (weeks?).
Thanks for the compliment!
