Granny's Flowers

 Many of us love fragrant flowers, and phlox is no exception. I recently learned that they are called "granny's flowers." Probably because phlox are grown in a village front garden, cottage garden, used in groups, arrays, flower beds, mixborders, parks since the time of our grandmothers.

 

 The flowers are fragrant, white, pink, red, lilac, scarlet, blue, carmine with an eye in the center.

 

The popularity of phlox is associated with unpretentiousness, frost resistance, as well as bright lush flowering, a unique aroma. Phlox can be used in landscape-style flower beds, in imitations of a flowering meadow, romantic compositions, in shady gardens, when decorating forest edges, in rock gardens, near ponds.

 

 

These unpretentious perennials bloom from July to the end of September, winter well and do not require constant care, like roses.

To tell the truth, I pay little attention to phlox. But they are not offended and bloom in various corners of my garden. I walk past, inhale their scent and think: it is already August and the phlox have bloomed.

Blue, Pink, Red, Yellow, White

 There are many different shades of color in July and August. Plants bloom non-stop. Some fade, others fill their place with their flowers. 

Look at this display of colorful plants .

This is how blue and light blue delphiniums and Austin rose bloom in my garden.

This is my new gladiolus. I wrote that I put new gladiolus bulbs in “quarantine”. The bulbs are completely healthy and bloom beautifully.

 

 

These phlox have been growing and blooming for almost 20 years in the garden. They are called "grandmother's flowers."

Cornus alba Elegantissima also participates in this show. Simple flowers 'cosmos' look beautiful in a small flower bed.

Summer brings joy and tranquility, plants try to show themselves in all their glory.
