What’s blooming this week?

I brought this clematis from my garden in Toronto, five years ago. I’ve also moved it once since then. It needs some training and pruning, but it still blooms! It’s called Clematis “Sunset”.

These happy little flowers look like daisies, but they’re not. They’re feverfew, and each flower head is about the same size as a quarter. This plant is pretty invasive; it’s coming up all over the yard and I only had one plant, originally.

These pretty yellow daisies are very prolific bloomers. I’m not 100% sure, but I think they are a marguerite daisy. I love to cut them for displaying inside the house. Right now I have some sitting in a milk jar on the back of the toilet in the downstairs bathroom.

This is another, pale purple variety of centaurea that blooms later than its darker purple cousin growing in my front yard.

My spiderwort plant is almost a foot and a half tall this year! It looks the most spectacular early in the morning when the blooms are fresh.

This false indigo plant is finally blooming this year after taking a few to recover from being moved.

The bearded irises are finished blooming, but this Siberian iris is just getting started.
