Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, 15 September 2009

Another month has gone by and it is, again, GBBD. Here's what's blooming in my yard:

• Squash, zucchini and scalloped (as promised last month)
• Tomatoes, cherry and beefsteak
• Pole beans, green, yellow, and purple
• Roses
• Lobelia (a volunteer trailing blue variety)
• California poppies
• Canna lilies
• Tuberous begonia
• Impatiens
• Nasturtiums
• Chrysanthemums
• Allium (that some random, semi-invasive, onion/garlic species)
• White "potato" vine (Solanum rattonii?)
• "Purple potato plant" (Multi-trunk standard landscape Solanum )
• Geraniums
• Plumbago, creeping and vining
• Cucumbers
• Sunflowers
• Rosy buckwheat

As you can see, the list is much shorter this month than it has been. The only CA natives still thinking about blooming at this point are the poppies (and very-danged-few of those) and Rosy buckwheat (which gets supplemental water and is in high shade all day).
