What's Blooming Now
My garden is foliage-focused -- lots of variegated and neon forms of perennial leaves -- but there are some flowering plants. Right now, here are the perennials that are blooming. Most of the photos of these blooms were taken yesterday; the tradescantia photos are from earlier because their flowers had already closed in the afternoon rain.
The raspberries, as I feared, are molding on the canes. I snipped a bunch of the moldy berries off yesterday to encourage new fruiting.
hosta (white and lavender)
hydrangea (green that turns to white that is turning now to blue)
geranium 'mourning widow' (purple)
tradescantia (blue and magenta)
bee balm (purple on one side of the house, red on the other)
meadow sage (light purple)
daylilies (orange and rich yellow)
black-eyed-Susan (volunteer, maybe left over from a wildflower planting a few years ago)
daisies (no decent shot)
various sedum (pink, white, yellow)
anise hyssop (purple spikes)
the last of the astilbes (faded pink)
the last of the filipendula (also faded pink)
