So Many Flowers in Bloom



With all the rain and heat we’ve had this summer, our garden beds are full of flowers. It makes me wonder if our perennials are blooming earlier than usual.


It’s not even August yet, and the phlox are in bloom.


I always think of them as late summer flowers.


As I survey the garden, I wonder: 


What’s left to bloom in August and September?


Even the beautiful Japanese anemones - that bloom in fall - are already budding.


Do I need to add flowers with an even later blooming season?

Or should I simply add annuals - as many gardeners do? Annuals have the longest blooming season. They continue to bloom until the first frost.
