#bloomstroll

#macro flower shots from last night's #bloomstroll in pdx

Hanging planter overflowing with yellow calibrachoa, burgundy garden verbena, and purple petunias sure to draw a moth or two!

This blooms late in the summer. It's a perennial that died back to the roots and then sprung to life when the time is right. The leaves smell divine and butterflies love the profuse red flowers in puts on. What is it? - a planter with pineapple sage! So very loved by small yellow butterflies.

Yellow day Lilly growing in a pot on my driveway.

Wave petunia that is small now, but in the next few weeks will spill vivid pink petunias down the sides of the planter. One of many flowers favorited by the night shift pollinators.

A few photos of anticipation. 🌱 #bloomscroll #bloomstroll

I do #bloomscroll but in my garden I #bloomstroll there are many pretty flowers, but so many more to come. One gardenia has a few yellow leaves here & there, but is covered in buds. It's more like #bloomwatch2025. Let me walk through my 🌱 garden & capture a couple of photos to bring you with me.

A damp drizzly day, took a #bloomstroll around Gartnavel hospital grounds. #bloomscrolling. A lot of bird song, everything ‘misty wet with rain’.
