I really am ... and here's why.
The 15th of every month is widely known to be "Garden Bloggers Bloom Day" where garden bloggers all over the universe share what's blooming in their garden. Good times.
But this guy doesn't play by those rules. No way. I have my own GBBD and it's on the 18th or 24th or 29th of each month. In simpler terms, it's whenever I want to do it.
I cannot be controlled.
I play by my own rules.
I dance to the beat of my own drummer.
I am, a true ... "bad ass".
So join me in my rebellion as we tour my gardens on the 18th of this month (Feels good doesn't it?)
Caryopteris (Bluebeard) 'Sunshine Blue':
Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime':
Asclepias incarnata (Swamp Milkweed) 'Ice Ballet':
Miscanthus 'Strictus' blowing in the 45mph winds:
A slow build to the blooms on Sorghastrum (Indian Grass) 'Sioux Blue':
The stellar Sedum 'Autumn Fire':
Almost 75% of my property is bordered by wild flowers and other wild growth and the Goldenrod takes center stage this time of year:
It provides quite the backdrop to all of my "man made" gardens:
Never before have I had re-blooming on my Viburnum 'Shoshoni':
Althea (Rose of Sharon) 'Lavender Chiffon' keeps on going:
As does Boltonia 'Pink Beauty':
Doesn't it feel good to be bad?
