Storey staffers and friends share July garden scenes.

One of our regular Bloom Day contributors, MaryAnn Nรธbben, said in her email to me that it’s been a strange year in Norway. Here in New England, summer has gotten off to a rainy, humid-but-not-very-hot start. That hasn’t stopped the flowers, as you’ll see from this month’s Bloom Day post. Lilies in particular abound (and in case you weren’t aware,
daylily buds are awfully tasty when stuffed with gorgonzola). What’s blooming where you are? —

I thought this one would be fun to include. It’s a centerpiece from my sister’s wedding. The geraniums didn’t bloom in time, so we added Gerbera daisies (they only lasted a day) and these lovely blossoms made from books that one of her friends made. |

Speaking of weddings, Storey’s marketing art director recently traveled to Fiji for his honeymoon, where he captured these photos of hibiscus (and a visitor).

Meanwhile (not to be outdone!) delphinium blooms at home. |

The flower of the Cloudberry — Filipendula Chamaemorus. If you have them, or know where these are growing, it is a well kept secret in this country. They grow in boggy areas and are a real treat. |
