First Globe Flowers

Globe Flower 5

I just noticed yesterday evening that my Globe Flowers are blooming. The light was fading so I didn’t take a photo of the flowers, but as you can see from the photo above I was able to find a picture that I took last year or the year before.

I really enjoy the Globe Flowers. Just as the Crocus is a sign to me that Spring has finally arrived, I consider Globe flowers a harbinger of summer. I believe they’ll continue blooming until Summer is just about here. As long as we don’t have a heat wave, I mean.

I doubt that there’s much chance of a heat wave coming soon though. It’s been a cool May here in Toronto. It’s just starting to warm up to normal seasonal temperatures – and I hope it stays that way. I’m tired of the cold.

How has the weather been in your area.

New Green Thumber’s –
I know there are a few of you who emailed me wanting to get on the blogroll. I’m sorry that I haven’t managed to include your sites yet. I’ve been working on a big web project this week and it’s consumed all my time. I will go through all of the requests later today and approve as many as I can. Sorry!

    The blooms are beautiful! I’ve started my first garden in my “new” house and it is so exciting to see the first blooms peek out 🙂

    I believe those are called something else here. I’m thinking of ranchro I know that not the correct spelling.

    Your Globe Flowers are beautiful. I love the golden yellow shade of the petals against the delicate foliage.
    Happy GTS,

    Those are beautiful flowers. Don’t think I’ve ever seen them before. We still don’t have any flowers blooming in our yard, but we’re hopeful!

    The weather’s been cool and rainy here in Ohio too. I think the plants are enjoying it. Every thing’s blooming a little later this year, compared to last year, but there are more blooms, especially the fruit trees.

    It’s a very beautiful flower! In my garden I have more than 70 types of such kind. Believe me, it looks very attractive.
