Summer Blooms

My favourite perennial, for colour is the rich purple, almost indigo blue of these delphiniums. They reside in front of some rather large showy, hollyhocks, not yet in bloom...and next to the FoxGloves .(Picture taken June/00.
There is a bench in front of this section of the garden, where one can just sit and admire beauty's such as these.

Climbing Clematis

There is a climbing clematis vine growing up the shady bench near the garden..

For the brightest of orange, nothing surpasses these California Poppy's that seem to flower non-stop throughout the summer...no matter what weather.

The phallic symbolism of these perennial Lupins is all too apparent...they bloom here in colours ranging from purple, dusty rose, to yellow....almost finished now, they provide a bounty of seeds to pass onto friends.

But my first love has always been with native Wildflowers...not as showy as these cultivated flowers common to many gardens, they represent for me a pure beauty provided by mother nature herself.
