After a very rainy June, July’s bright hot days made all nature pop around Asbury Park, New Jersey! It was a great month for plant observations. We mostly stayed close to home, worked on the garden, and the beach.
From the beginning of July…
… to the middle.
Our clematis is going nuts.
The hostas bloomed.
My husband picked up some beautiful milkweed. Previously, I didn’t know there were so many varieties of monarch butterflies favorite plant.
Late season honeysuckle still going strong.
Mid month we had some crazy storms, Many old trees were downed.
Lots of mushrooms this year.
Anyone know what these magic puffballs are?
A neighbor’s garden in the beginning…
…and end of July.
We were able to spend some time observing the sky at the beach.
A rainbow gave July a good send off.
What did you observe this July? Are your favorite plants out now? Are flowers blooming?
