What's Blooming on July 4?
The better question might be: What isn’t blooming this Independence Day? After our slow, slow start to the gardening season, the plants are finally getting the sun they need. Here are just a few plants we’ve seen in bloom this week:
A beautiful plant on a pretty pond in St. Anthony Park in St. Paul.
A gorgeous delphinium in bloom.
Tomatoes are flowering, which means fruit is not far behind. Notice the little hairs on the stems — if placed underground, they would become roots.
While not hardy to our zone, many Minnesota gardeners coax passionflower into bloom. This one was in an amazing garden in Edina.
A perfect dahlia.
