Garden Blogger's Bloom Day & Foliage Follow Up: June 2016

I always have good intentions for posting and then next thing I know, I've missed both the Foliage Follow Up and Bloom Day. This month I'm combining both!

Canna 'Flambe' and Uruguayan Firecracker Plant (Dicliptera suberecta)

Chocolate Mimosa
I know that's a grainy shot of the Chocolate Mimosa, but I couldn't resist posting it. I love how the leaves look perforated.

Hosta 'Sum and Substance'

Huge thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens for hosting Garden Blogger's Bloom Day on the 15th of every month, and to Pam Penick of Digging for hosting the monthly Foliage Follow Up on the 16th! (Be sure to stop by Pam's site to say your farewells to Moby, and meet Moby Jr!)

  1. At one time, I had a Passion Vine, but no more.
    Yours is lovely!

    1. Thanks Lea, you too! It's my 2nd one in that spot; last year's got eaten completely by caterpillars! I know they'll descend upon it again this year but hopefully it will be big enough to bounce back!

    1. Thanks so much, Janice! I've read that this particular hosta gets pretty big, crossing my fingers that holds true!

      I love my mimosa! I've ordered a Merlot Majik Mimosa and I'm expecting it any day now! Hopefully I can keep it alive over the Summer....

  4. Thanks for sharing the firecracker plant. which is new to me. It looks like one I should find a place for. I've heard good things about that chocolate mimosa but frankly mimosas scare me. I inherited an Albizia julibrissin tree with the house and garden and have maintained a love-hate relationship with it for 5 years now. It's huge and makes a big statement in my back garden but it drops an unbelievable amount of litter and self-seeds as if world domination is its central purpose in life.
