colors of the garden skip to main skip to sidebar snips of this and that about gardening and daily living in the country monday august 15 2011 garden bloggers bloom day august 2011 as i work on this august bloom day post i m listening to the blissful drumming of rain on the roof we haven t heard that welcome sound often this summer which makes us greatly appreciate this almost full day of rain so much more than we otherwise would while the hot dry summer has been hard on our upstate new york garden it hardly compares to the heat and drought our gardening friends are experiencing in texas and some other states my heart goes out to the people of texas praying refreshing rain and cooler temperatures will ease their situation very soon we had some good rain on august 6th 7th and 8th bringing the green back to the lawn and giving the plants a boost the moderate temperatures made gardening a pleasure during the past week rather than digging these gladiolus planted in the veggie garden last year we covered them with bales of straw in the fall and they overwintered well i planted more this summer but they ll be blooming much later window boxes and containers have filled out and are looking bright and colorful that s misty lilac wave petunia in between a couple of regular petunias one wave goes a long way hydrangea macrophylla oak hill has been blooming since early july these perky pansy faces are growing at the base of the hydrangea mr lincoln rose had a late start as did all the roses this spring but it s done a good job catching up i wish you could smell the wonderful perfume sea pearl rose in the pink garden is still very small but it has bravely produced this pretty bloom and has more buds coming i was thrilled to find agastache salmon and pink at our small local nursery the hummingbirds love this plant the lovely fuchsia in the hanging basket is marinka it s putting on a spectacular show after overwintering in an upstairs bedroom here are some of the containers crowding the back patio i got a little carried away as usual even though i was determined to plant fewer this year there are several overwintered geraniums in the mix and a few other overwintered plants as well ivy geranium comedy and on the front porch baskets with tidal wave cherry and pink morn wave petunias ivy geranium belladonna with marimba in the background both overwintered this lovely lophospermum was also overwintered as was this container with vancouver centennial geranium and blackie sweet potato vine i love this very tall self sown sunflower growing by the front porch under the bird feeders it branches more and has smaller flowers than the usual large headed sunflowers blackoil that sprout from dropped birdseed in the small rock garden pink batface cuphea planted last year has sown itself and produced several pastel colors this was another exciting find at our wonderful local nursery the daylilies are almost finished there are just a few producing a last flower or two this one is dallas star and beside it is sedum autumn joy which has grown much bigger than i thought it would coneflowers are blooming up a storm bee and butterfly heaven although none were about when i took this photo hydrangea paniculata limelight has abundant blooms in the lilac garden tall phlox blooms with shasta daisies red bee balm monarda another absolute favorite of hummingbirds and gloriosa daisies rudbeckia hirta black eyed susans the driveway garden has plenty of tall phlox monarda and lilies the elegant tiger lily blooms last a long time i planted this one from a seed several years ago august is a colorful month for the front yard gloriosa daisies bloom for a very long time the rudbeckia laciniata hortensia golden glow aka cut leaf coneflower outhouse flower is sprawling outside the little fences that my hubby built to keep it upright it spreads rapidly and i haven t had time to dig up the escaping plants and give them away to other hapless gardeners who are blissfully unaware of its spreading habit today was too wet to get a wider shot of how it looks now we re actually enjoying its sprawling outside the fence as it looks very pretty doing it which makes it easy to forgive its tendency toward thuggery you ll find well over a hundred gardeners eager to show off their blooms over at carol s blog may dream gardens in indiana happy bloom day everyone posted by kerri at 11 36 pm 44 comments labels bloom day gbbd phlox summer gardens friday august 12 2011 red bellied woodpecker diligent dad sometimes i spot him as early as 6 30 am if i m lucky but mr red belly can be seen at various times throughout the day diligently gathering food for his hungry offspring such a hard worker he carries a sunflower seed from the feeder over to the nearby sugar maple and cracks it open at first i thought he was gathering his own breakfast until one morning i spotted this little fellow peeking over the branch waiting for daddy to bring another seed ah here he comes hurry dad i m starved i wonder how many tiny morsels it takes to fill that little tummy how about some suet oh yes please and back he goes for more what s taking so long sometimes dad has to argue with the sparrows about whose turn it is they re feeding babies too you know but can t you see i m hungrier than they are notice he doesn t yet have a red head there s only a faint smudge of red on july 26th overworked and underpaid don t you know i work my beak off and what do i get squawk squawk more more doesn t this child ever sleep why can t his mother do this see there is a little red on his belly not much but it s there but mommy is nowhere to be seen perhaps she s on duty elsewhere this photo is from 09 i did see this female on the maple trunk back in the middle of may but haven t noticed one since notice the difference in the coloring on the female s head she has a gap in the red while daddy s head color goes all the way to his beak red bellies are often misnamed red headed woodpeckers for obvious reasons but you can see what a red head looks like here at cornell lab of ornithology s great site all about birds last time i saw the youngster was august 4th he came by himself or at least he appeared to be alone daddy was nowhere in sight see how the red has come in on his head in just over a week i didn t see him eat anything before he flew into the maple tree but it looks like he s becoming more independant getting out on his own i ll bet dad is happy about that i hope we re lucky enough to see the little guy feeding a baby of his own next year posted by kerri at 1 17 pm 13 comments labels bird feeders birds woodpeckers older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me kerri our farm is in upstate ny and we had a
