Bloom Day North - July

In recognition of July's Bloom Day North, Sandy sent in several photos taken in the Chester area on that day. The first is a delightful composition of Jack in the Pulpits (Arisaema triphyllum) taken by club member Diana.

Next we have Sandy's yellow ox-eye daisy (Telekia speciosa), as it receives a visit from a bee.

And the delicate blooms of a honeysuckle.

Followed by a shot of a tulip tree blossom ( Liriodendron tulipifera).

And finally, from another garden, a branch of a rambling rose spilling over a wooden retaining wall.  Chester gardens are bursting with new growth this season, and the blooms of many other plants could be added to the gallery above.  Club members will be introduced to many ideas re creating arrangements using their own plants, when they attend a meeting of the club on July 18, in preparation for the annual Flower Show on July 28th.
