What’s Blooming in July

First up, my curbside garden is looking pretty colorful, with plain old garden phlox and some snappy red daylilies (’Brave World’).  The more I show off this curb garden the more I realize how lucky I am to have this little strip where:

• There are NO utility wires overhead.
• And even better, there’s NO parking on my side of the street.  My across-the-street neighbors don’t have nearly as much freedom to garden.

And in the backyard, my plain-old purple coneflowers are peaking and Knockout roses are blooming - no surprise - in the background but notice what’s in between?  The lawn replacement, almost totally filled out!  There’s more about that over on my GardenRant  Bloom Day post .
