End of June Garden Walk

Crazy Shasta Daisy blooming, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comJune is ending (sniff) and that means a whole different set of flowers are blooming.  Last month it was Iris with a few roses mixed in but now for the really warm weather lovers.  Daisies are a cottage garden favorite and I have a great variety of them.  My latest addition is Aglaia.
A freind gave it to me, she has nicknamed it Shaggy Maggy, which I think very fitting.  She’s so fluffy!
Aglaia Shasta Daisy, Garden Walk, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comThough I have a couple fancy varieties I still do love a simple daisy..I have these with short petals, long drapey petals and regular perky petals.  I love them all.
(CLICK HERE to see more about Daisies)
Shasta Daisy, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comI have some planted next to my Firefighter Rose, this is the sweetest smelling rose, the scent carries on the breeze right into my studio cottage. I thought the white daisies would be a fantastic contrast for the luscious red.
The only downside to this rose is the deer love it.  They will bypass a dozen other plants, including roses and head straight for this beauty.  So far this season I have not been bothered with deer but they will come.  I need to get some deer repellent spray and start spraying everything.
Firefighter rose, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comI also have let Feverfew just go wild everywhere, it is a great filler, the deer don’t like it and it is easy enough to yank up where I don’t want it.  It’s daisy like flowers are so dainty and they also a great contrast for other brighter colored flowers.
Feverfew, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comAnother flower that has made itself at home here is Rose Campion, it has seeded itself all over and the bright fuchsia flowers are so cheery.  The leaves and stems are a soft furry grey green which leads many to erroneously believe they are Lambs Ears.  They aren’t, they have completely different flowers.  Here it happily blooms away with my Larkspur.
Rose Campion and Larkspur, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comThe Asiatic Lilies are at their prime, I love their toughness and the way they spread so easily.  I just wish they smelled as sweet as the Oriental counterparts or the Trumpet Lilies.
Asiatic Lilies, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comI have lots of orange and ones, and some that have mixed..
Garden walk June 25, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.com (41 of 50)But lately I have added in some pink and white ones.
Pink Asiatic LiliesI will move both the pink and the white one to my back garden this Fall.  I want them in my Secret Garden for sure.
White Asiatic Lily, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comI have many more to share, I will be sure to do so very soon.  Have a fabulous week and Happy Gardening!

    Love your garden. I love Daisies. Especially the ones with the ruffled type edge. I think they are very dainty.
    Your gardens are well loved and beautiful. Thank You for sharing all your tips and wonderful things you do.

      Thank you Dot. What is so wonderful about Daisies also is they are very carefree for me and grow with no fuss. You gotta love that in a plant!

    The old flowers are my favorites. I didn’t remember feverfew and rose campion when planning and now to think about adding those to the daisies. The lilies and rose are beautiful. We need smell-a-vision! 🙂

    Love looking at the flowers! We have quite a few flowers around our home. A lot of them my mom planted when we moved here back in 1975. There’s a Hydrangea bush on the side of our house that my mom planted and every so often she would take a piece of it and root it in another pot to give away to someone. Hydrangeas were my mom’s favorite flower. Everytime I see a Hydrangea I think of her. She passed away in 2012 and the spray on her casket was, You guessed it, Hydrangeas.

      It is always lovely to have a sentimental reminder of a passed loved one. I have a rose from my Grandparents garden that they always just loved. My poor husband broke 2 shovel handles and nearly his back digging it up for me (huge root ball and hard soil) when we had to sell their house. Seeing it in bloom brings back so many sweet memories of good times with them at their little farm.
