Gardening in Pennsylvania ~ GBBD June 2013

Our Shade Path Garden full of yellow perennial foxgloves, Digitalis grandiflora.
Welcome to Pennsylvania for Garden Blogger Bloom Day!
There are lots of flowers to see this weekend around our small, town garden. Come take a walk around...


The large white and red bloom of hybridized Calycanthus 'Venus'... technically X Sinocalycalycanthus raulstonii 'Venus'
Pink foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, which is a biennial
View of the back the Shade Path and the curb strip, full of Sedum 'Acre' in bloom.
Mock orange (Philadelphus coronarius)...
....fills the Circle Lawn with its sweet fragrance.
Clematis 'Fairydust' on a trellis by the Circle Lawn
Clematis 'William Kennett' on our backyard fence...
 Clematis 'Earnest Markham' also on our fence.... see them both together.
Honeysuckle vine (Lonicera) just starting to flower on the fence.

View of the Circle Lawn trellises from the road; you can also see the Curb planting on the other side of the sidewalk.
Looking back to the Fence Garden... and our enormous tree slide :)
Color echo with Nepeta 'Walker's Low' and Clematis 'William Kennett'
Cherry Corner Garden with Sedum 'Acre' and the catmint (Nepeta 'Walker's Low') continuing on the Front Walk.
Canna 'King Humbert' with red edges in the Front Walk garden. Also the seedheads of Allium 'Purple Sensation'.
Allium christophii in the Front Walk with Spirea 'Goldflame' just coming into bloom.
At the back of the house, lots is going on around the driveway this week. Our old rose and Clematis 'Etoile Violette' is in bloom! (see more about the Driveway Garden)
Clematis 'Etoile Violette', lightly scented pink rose and Lamium maculatum.
My favorite grass at the moment, Miscanthus sinensis 'Dixieland' is a dwarf sized for smaller garden.
View from the back yard to the Driveway Garden. This part is quite the jungle at the moment! Geranium 'Orion, lavender, Sedum, Iris siberica, Lilies, Clematis and a couple lilacs are all fighting it our for survival. Another pink rose blooms across the driveway.

Clematis 'Henryetta' blooming for the first year since it was planted.
Pretty pink peony does pretty well between the mature lilacs.
Clematis 'John Warren', Geranium 'Orion', Allium multibulbosum...
Happy Bloom Day!

  2. So beautiful! Amazing tumble of soft colors - a wide range of colors but they all blend together harmoniously. I see that you still have a strip of lawn in some places - how long will that last? :-)

  4. Wow, you certainly have blooms in June! Your clematis, especially the one climbing the maple, knocks my socks off! I have some of the yellow foxglove also, but it does much better for you.

  5. Julie, you have an impressive collection of Clematis, all combined beautifully with other things. Many things in your garden are a month behind mine yet clematis would be flowering here now if I had any. Christina
