"Voodoo" has never had so many blooms at once! Certainly the highlight of my garden right now is my small rose garden. I have never had so many blooms as this year! I think I owe it to the new organic fertilizer I used for the first time, Peace of Mind. I have applied it twice.
Many of my garden areas are in transition. The Salvias have all been cut back (boo hoo) and are beginning their second bloom, although not as full. I cut back my beautiful large Pink Poppy which was a star attraction next to the May Night Salvia and Snow in Summer (which looks dreadful at the moment). Next to take center stage will be the Russian Sage. They are the mainstay of the hell strips from now on, and are almost in bloom.
Several Yarrows are in bloom, including red (Paprika), white, purple and gold. Autumn Joy is beginning to bud (is it that time already?) Here are photos of some of the highlights of this July 2007 Bloom Day:
And here is my pride and joy... Endless Summer Hydrangia... YEA!
This Creeping Jenny has the most delightful blooms, which I do not recall seeing before this year.
These Asiatic Lilies were a gift from a friend. I once had several plants but this is all that remains.
I'm posting this photo of a Hollyhock for my garden buddy LostRoses!
This is one of my Penstemons. I'm planning a special post on them in the near future.
What more beautiful way to view a Purple Coneflower? I do not know what kind of butterfly this is...perhaps someone could enlighten me?
This is a bright combination of carnations and Butterfly Blue Delphiniums. 
This the first Rudbeckia of the year. They seem to last only a couple of years so had to be replanted this season.
This is in a container, a very delicate Salvia "Nymph Coral" which caught my eye at the nursery. Other new blooms for July:
Gladiola - 1 so far
Cosmos - just beginning
Morning glories
Coreopsis
Hollyhock
Purple Monkshood
Continuing to bloom:
Rose Campion
California Poppies
Violas - many varieties
Verbena
Dianthus - a few varieties
Feverfew
Companula Scottish Bells
Shasta Daisies
Herbs continue to do well, thyme is heading out and cilantro is bolting. My 2 lavenders are blooming but need to be in a location where they get more sun.
Vegetables: Second crop of lettuce is showing leaves. We actually have about 3 green tomatoes, which is exciting. Have been harvesting cucumbers, yellow squash and peppers.
