FOTD – June 20, 2019 – Columbine
While they were so busy blooming, I took pictures. I think the next time I look — tomorrow if it isn’t pouring rain — I will see the beginning of the blooming of the daylilies.
I think if there had been a bit more sunshine, they would be blooming already. I don’t know if the roses will bloom this year. We cut them all the way down and it may take them a season to grow back.
I’m sure they will grow back. They are much too stubborn to die.

Yours are a lovely pink, ours are a dark purple. They tend to reseed themselves, aren’t they lovely?

That must be it because I think I put in seeds 15 years ago and forgot about them. There are more each year.

We’ve got some stuff growing in the garden I KNOW I didn’t plant. Some of it is wild — asters and Queen Anne’s lace … but there are other flowers I haven’t yet identified. I think all the wind blew the seeds all over the place. And maybe all the birds brought some new ones to the garden.

I’m finding things all over that I didn’t plant too.

Lovely columbines. Though they don’t last long. Mine are all seedheads now. As for your rose, you can cut them back to as little as a foot high, and they should come roaring back. I read they like bonemeal, and it’s certainly done the trick for one of my very ropey old climbing roses.

We cut ours down as far as we could — maybe a foot and half except where they were so entwined with other plants we couldn’t separate them. I’m sure they will come back. You can’t keep the barbed wires down!

We still have quite a few blooming … and the spiderwort are also still blooming. That’s a long run for both plants. None of the daylilies are blooming yet. I think they need some sun!

I have a few wild columbine, but they only flower when they feel like it.

I think these came from seeds. I think I planted them myself. But I didn’t expect so MANY of them.
