June 2015 Bloom Day title

June is definitely one of my favorite months in the flowerbeds. Here’s some of what’s blooming now & why I love this time of year:

 

SHADE GARDEN

Our shade garden is pretty in pink right now. I like all these plants, but I’m most excited about the bleeding heart. I had been wanting one for a long time. Last year I finally planted a couple and this year I get to enjoy their beautiful flowers.
