Lysimachia paridiformis var. stenophylla, an under-appreciated beauty.
I couldn't get a decent photo of the Echeveria 'Arrow Setosa' bloom, oh well. The spike is coming from that slightly fuzzy plant in the lower left hand corner.
Passiflora 'Amethyst Jewel' wintered over and is hell-bent on taking over a corner of the back garden. I love it.
Mammillaria spinosissima 'Red-Headed Irishman'
My Acanthus mollis put out the shortest little bloom spike...
Clematis 'Bells of Emei Shan'
The Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' blooming is underway, there are so many flowers and buds on this plant...
Abutilon Nuabyell
Abutilon Nuabtang
Abutilon megapotamicum 'Paisley'
Moluccella laevis, aka Bells of Ireland, which I never got around to sowing seeds of this year, luckily some of last year's plants did the deed for me.
The actual flowers.
Dyckia 'Nickel Silver', which was a recent gift...I love it.
Dyckia 'Nickel Silver' flower, close up
I had a couple of Aloe aristata bloom this year, at this point they're past their prime.
Acca sellowiana
Grevillea rivularis
Grevillea x gaudichaudii
And again, just so you can see the colorful new foliage.
Sempervivum NOID, which is leaning precariously into the driveway and I am afraid is going to get broken.
Another Sempervivum NOID
Santolina chamaecyparissus 'Lemon Queen'
Another, bonus photo, just becasue.
Salvia apiana
Callistemon ‘Woodlander's Hardy Red’
I think this is Verbascum olympicum, a seedling of a long ago plant.
Closer-upper
Another verbascum that seeded itself out in the middle of a callistemon.
Verbascum blattaria
And finally, the flower of July...
Yucca filamentosa and Y. filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Happy July Bloom Day. Oh those Grevilleas...
ReplyDeleteAren't they fabulous!?
DeleteI have that Verbascum olympicum too, mine is so top-heavy it's leaning out into the street. I like the candles on yours better. I really need to try a Passiflora, maybe next year. Always fun to see your flowers on Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteYikes, if mine leans it would be into the neighbor's driveway, which would be no good. And yes, you need a passiflora!
DeleteGrevillea x gaudichaudii... yowzah!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI love your Bloom Day posts that are filled with exotics that are almost all unknown to me. We can grow Yucca and Verbascums but other than those, your garden is always a surprise. Love that Lysmachia with its striking foliage.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw that Lysimachia, it was love at first sight.
DeleteAlways something exotic and lovely blooming in your garden, Loree. I wish I could grow Grevillea, they are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky there are several that I can grow, although I lust after the even less hardy ones.
DeleteI'm still in love with that Clematis - and Grevillea rivularis. Your photos of the lemon Santolina will send me outside to take a closer look at the flowers on mine. Happy GBBD, Loree!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you do, so many little flowers on each "ball"...
DeleteAmazing and beautiful plants, stunning photography AND names! of all those plants. I wish I could do that.
ReplyDeleteOh it's only because of my blog plant list and Google that I can list names, my spelling is horrendous!
DeleteAs always your garden looks wonderful. Yuccas are having an incredible bloom this year. Responding to all that rain?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have seen a lot of amazing yucca groves in bloom around town, I hadn't thought of rain as a reason but I suppose it's possible.
DeleteI'm so surprised to see that Yucca filamentosa and 'Color Guard' bloom a month later in Portland than here, given how much sooner spring comes there. Maybe the yucca waits for enough days/hours of heat? Because summery temps almost always arrive by late May, and they start to flower like clockwork here in the first week of June.
ReplyDeleteSo many of your blooms this month are lovely, rare and special, but that self-sown Verbascum wins me over with sheer enthusiasm and glory. Zowie!
There were many yucca around town that got started at the end of June, I love that they have such a long bloom period.
DeleteI'm glad the verbascum's flower power came through on-screen.
That Clematis ! Excellent selections this month-I keep forgetting about Bells of Ireland-I used to always have it , and I'm sure I have packet of expired seed around here somewhere. If I scatter the whole packet around this fall, surely some will take.
ReplyDeleteDid you get one (the clematis) at the Study Weekend plant sale? There were a few.
DeleteA great group of flowers - very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy 'Red Heart' has not bloomed yet, but my other hibiscus shrubs are blooming.
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day to you!

DeleteI just planted my first grevellia and it is doing well. I can't wait to see it bloom.
ReplyDeleteWhich one?
DeleteWow what an exotic plants to come into bloom...its thrilling to glance over blooms from succulents and cactus.Happy Blooms day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

Ha! I love that description.
DeleteAmazing blooms! 'Red-headed Irishman' is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love it too! It came from Alison of Bonny Lassie.
DeleteSome nice blooms there. I've never seen a Lysimachia like that. I also like the white and purple Verbascum.
ReplyDeleteI refused to believe that plant was a Lysimachia when I first asked about it at Lan Su, our Chinese Garden.
