In our home gardens, June is a wonderful time for flowering plants in borders, rockeries, perennial beds, and even in the vegetable garden.   Each day we walk the paths to enjoy the displays, taking a few photos each day.   There are different stars each month.    A few images from early June are shared here:

• Persian cornflower (Psephellus dealbatus)
• Persian daisy (Tanacetum coccineum)
• Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale)
• Alpine aster (Aster alpinus)
• blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium sp.)
• orange honeysuckle (Lonerica sp.)
• mock orange (Philadelphus sp.)
