A sunset-colored Bloom Day - July 2013

It's the middle of summer! To celebrate, today's Bloom Day post is all about the sunset colors blooming in my garden this month. We'll start with yellow and move through orange and red, and then finish up with purple.

Potentilla fruticosa 'Sunset Red' isn't exactly living up to its name, but its yellow flowers will do nicely to begin our sunset journey.



Zantedeschia 'Flame', star of my most recent post.

Asclepias curassavica

 

Crocosmia 'Corona'

The tail end of a third bloom cycle this year from Clivia miniata 'Belgian Hybrid Orange'


Abutilon 'Tangerine'

Kniphofia 'Timothy'

Bees disappear into the dying blooms of this cultivar in search of nectar.

Agastache 'Acapulco Orange'

Agastache rupestris 'Apache Sunset'

Crocosmia potsii 'Culzean Pink'

Helenium 'Moorheim Beauty'


Punica granatum 'True Dwarf'

Crocosmia 'Lucifer'

Inherited NOID rose

 Callistemon 'Woodlander's Hardy Red'

Lewisia cotyledon var. howellii

Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy'

I have lots of other colors and blooms as well, but this is plenty for a sunny July day in Portland, Oregon.  Long live summer!

Bloom Day is graciously hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. Join the fun to see what's blooming in many more July gardens today.
