Maine Garden in June

 Here are a few scenes from my garden in June  

                           Rose of Sharon or Mallow 
                                        Astilbe
                                     The fern path
                         Petunias I grew from saved seed 
                       “The Red Drift” rose bush. I got this on clearance last year for 1 dollar. It is amazing! It bloomed well into December which is unheard of in Maine. I’m going to try to root cuttings from this and grow more.
