Today, I've chosen to show some late-bloomers in my yard. Below are my daisies, which bloom about three to four weeks after I see other daisies in our neighborhood. They are a distinct petite variety that you can have shipped from Burpee, Inc.
Also, my late-blooming day lillies are here. They, too, are a Burpee product, and bloom in July. They are a true day lily, in that each blossom blooms only once and is gone the next day. You can see the blooms that are ready to pop tomorrow.
On to fence climbing blooms. I love to cover my fences in beautiful vines and blossoms. Below is a beautiful orange trumpet vine. It works extremely well for rounding out the "squareness" of fences, but it can get away from you if you're not careful. It's worth the trouble.

In a few more weeks, I'm going to share what I do with my favorite ground cover, Snowcap, sometimes called "Bishop's Weed", when it has had too much of our 90-100 degree weather and generally changes from its beautiful green to a rather ugly brown. Some people really don't care for this ground cover because of its penchant to sunburn. But I do something radical around the end of August, or whenever I see too much brown. I'll be letting you know what that is, and what happens.
