I’m working on an article for a new gardening we

I’m working on an article for a new gardening website about prairie plants that look good in a residential garden. This beauty has made the cut! It’s a favorite with butterflies and bees and stands up nice and straight in the border. Plus, so pretty and the blooms last a long time. It’s rose milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). I’ll let you know when the article is up on #CandideGardening. Nice website and I really like their plant ID app.

With the usual tours cancelled, I decided to take myself on some garden tours this summer. Check out my report on the lovely Japanese garden at Normandale Community College on the blog. (Link in bio) next time you are feeling stressed, this is the place to go! .

Another lily opening up! No definite ID but I think it’s Gran Paradiso. What a gorgeous red!
I bought these at the @mnhort bulb sale a couple of years ago. The rabbits destroyed the plants the first year but with a more aggressive caging plan, they are thriving this year. .

The lilies have bloomed! I have no idea which variety they are or how they survived the past two years, but they sure are pretty! Hot colors look so right in the garden in midsummer. .

These rudbeckia are just about to bloom. I love the hair on their leaves and stems. Plants are so fascinating. .

It’s #nationalpollinatorweek, and some bees are determined to pollinate all my tomatoes. But here’s the thing: tomatoes are usually wind pollinated. Every little bit helps though and I love seeing all the bees 🐝 at work in my garden. Yea, pollinators! .

Looks like the container lilies will be blooming soon! They have earned it! After being munched by 🐰 relentlessly last year and never blooming, they spent the winter outdoors after I tossed the bulbs in a pot during garden cleanup. There must have been enough snow because I found them growing in the spring and put them in a container with actual soil. I bought these tough plants at the MSHS booth at a home show. I can’t wait to see them bloom! .

The wind has been brutal the past few days, so I cleaned up the remaining peony blooms and brought in the best of them. These are all Myrtle Gentry, which has a light scent. Pleasant when you go in for a little aroma therapy, but not so strong it takes over the house. The bloom season is so fleeting. .

My husband picked out this Amber Jubilee ninebark on a stick when we first planted the back garden. It has so many different looks and colors. I’m still struggling with how best to prune it to keep the size right, but it looks good despite the bad haircuts I’ve given it. Great option for small yards. .
