Early June at Chickadee Gardens

June is the prettiest time in my garden. Alas, I have not been spending as much time out there as life just twists and turns. Still, it's my healing place, my recharge-the-batteries place and I need it now more than ever. So a quick post this time with some images coming to you from Chickadee Gardens on a fine early June day. A fairly new garden bed in the late afternoon after the California poppies have closed up shop for the night. This is Eschscholzia californica 'Mikado Red' that I introduced by a seed packet last autumn, hoping for the darker reddish colors. I still love the orange and cream ones but this part of the garden calls for vibrant wow colors. Also Phlomis russelliana is in full lemon yellow bloom and  Diascia 'Coral Canyon' in the background is also starting to flower.
