The big spring bloom had slowed down here in Davis as we move quickly towards summer. Many of the bloomers from May continue at a reduced level of bloom, such as the cranesbill. But shastas abound and the plumbago I am training up into the banksia arch have begun to pick up the slack.
I love the look of the onion seed heads...they remind me of all the lovely alliums in Chicago at Spring Fling and cause me to wonder where I could squeeze in a few ornamental alliums.
Zucchini and other summer veggies are beginning to bloom...it won't be long before we get to enjoy their offerings!
The wisteria continues with it's sporadic summer bloom, here mixing with blooming star jasmine on the entrance arch to the side yard.
I love this Bat-Faced Cuphea that I first saw on Annie's blog The Transplantable Rose. That was one of those "I need one of those" moments since at the time one of the child care children was a bat fanatic.
Agapanthus Baby Pete is a new favorite of mine...so cute and well-behaved at the front of the border.
