Anyway, the crocosmias are blooming in all of the places around the yard where I planted them. The hummingbirds and I love them.

In a Vase on Monday
This is a meme that my garden blogger friends participate in, but that I don't usually join in. However, I picked and arranged my first official summer bouquet from my cutting garden, so I have to show it off.
The dahlias are just coming on, as are the zinnias and the French marigolds. The asters and sunflowers will be later.
The tall marigolds are bursting forth. A few sweet peas are in bloom.
Last year I planted a whole bunch of crocosmia 'Lucifer' bulbs that I rescued from the neighbor's property before the bulldozes got them. The lot was cleared and is now going to weeds, awaiting construction of several new houses. It has been two years now, and except for all the digging to put in utilities, nothing yet.

The bees, butterflies, and hummers love this place too.
Roses, lavender, and Lady's Mantle make a nice bouquet too.
