In Bloom On Bliss Today

Once again it's Garden Bloggers Blooms Day in which many garden bloggers all over the world participate by showing on their blogs what's in bloom in their garden. Check out on Carol's blog May Dreams Gardens the list of all garden bloggers that join in the fun around the 15th of every month.

There are many more plants in flower here but the list would get too long. I'm sure you'd rather have some eye candy instead of reading a long list of plant names, most of them in Latin too (boring!).

The last part of the garden to be shown here today: the South Borders that are stuffed to the gills with flowers in June. Where to begin? Well, I won't actually. I'll just give you the eye candy and save you the bother of scrolling down a looooooooooong list of plant names. Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

without a spoken word, she brings and keeps our loved ones near.
