It is mostly green in the back garden right now. The youngest hydrangea doesn't have any blue blooms; I do hope they come this year. I cut a few branches off the magnolia tree to let a little more light in on its leaves.
The cone flowers have yet to show any purple petals, but it won't be long before the colours come.
In the meantime, these two photos will take me to Ireland.

ReplyDeleteOh those green plant.... love the lushness and cool feeling of them!
ReplyDeleteOur little 'second hand' coneflowers are just barely starting to get a few blossoms on them.
I'm so happy that they've survived our freezes.... maybe they will thrive as your plants do :)

ReplyDeleteHello, Nice to meet you,
ReplyDeleteOh, Hydrangea's season is almost over here and I was so sorry for myself I missed the chance to see them to the local park p;) Please enjoy when they blossom♬♬♬
Lots of hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Beautiful photos with beautiful green. I like the light in the first. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteIt so hot here today that your pretty greens are actually cooling me down. I love coneflowers but don't have much luck with them here. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLush and green, and soon there will be more color, Karen! I know you're really looking forward to that! In the meantime, enjoy Ireland. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Karen! I have some happy pink faces of the coneflowers to greet me every morning, wish means yours are will be ready soon.
ReplyDeleteTank you for your kind comment on my blog! Enjoy the summer!
We're still surrounded by colour as the June blooms hang around a little longer than usual due to our long, cool and wet spring.
ReplyDeleteI feel like you, it's all just waiting to burst forth.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots.

I read to put coffee grounds around your hydrangea bushes and dig in a bit. I am trying that right now on my new bush I got this year.

Sunlit green in the garden is beautiful as you await the burst of color from blooms. Proven Winners has given me a dwarf hydrangea to trial called 'Bobo' and I'll be interested to see the flowers on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day Karen.

Lots of lovely greenery there - I can just imagine how lovely it will be when the flowers all come out. :)
