Late June Michigan Garden

 

Photos and garden today courtesy of one of my favorite people, multi-talented Heather Murphy. Thank you! 

Today we're again visiting the late June Michigan garden of my nephew, James, and his lovely wife, Heather. She is so talented!  (Slight editing and mosaics by yours-truly.)

Heather has a great base of perennials and always adds lots of annuals.

 

 

 

 

 

Now to finish this post, I'll add a sunset from James & Heather's weekend camping stay at Canoe Harbor State Forest Campground, Grayling, Michigan. It's a beauty!

End of the Camellias Season

 

 

Camellias are popular, long-lived, evergreen shrubs (or small trees) renowned for their glossy foliage and stunning, rose-like blooms that appear from fall to spring. As staples of Southern gardens, they bloom in white, pink, and red, thriving in acidic, well-draining soil and partial shade in zones 6-10. Here at the condo, the bush in the center garden finished blooming last week. The bush by the walkway from parking to the condo building has been blooming steadily. It is slowing down, and I believe the end of the camellia season is almost here.
