Garden Bloggers Bloom Day -- 15 August 2009

Oh my heavens! I've gone and missed Garden Bloggers Bloom Day! I guess this month's post will be, by definition, much shorter. A list, in no particular order other than to say that the one new thing blooming is my Crepe Myrtle tree. So, let's start with that:

• Crepe Myrtle tree
• Purple Potato Plant
• Plumbago (both creeping and vining varieties)
• Rosy Buckwheat
• Sunflowers
• Cucumbers
• California Poppies of various colors and forms
• Clarkia amoena (Farewell to Spring)
• Sticky Monkeyflower
• Sambucus mexicana (Blue Elderberry)
• White-flowered potato vine (Solanum rattonii?)
• Impatiens
• Geranium (both Ivy and Upright)
• Tuberous Begonia
• Columbine (both native Western and non-native 'Nora Barlow')
• Spider Plant
• Rose bushes (floribunda and climbing)
• Tomatoes
• Cana Lilies
• Nasturtiums
• Vitus californica 'Rogers Red'
• Calendula
• Love in a Mist
• Western Virgins' Bower
• Seep Monkeyflower
• Some purple penstemon
• Some random allium species that I can't seem to get rid of

The zucchini and summer squash are putting on buds, so next month they should actually be blooming.
