Did you know July is National Ice Cream month.

I always treat myself to a scoop of some decadent chocolate ice cream on my birthday. Any suggestions on where I should go?

July Garden Flower

Larkspur/Delphiniums are perennials grown for their showy spikes of colorful summer flowers in gorgeous shades of blue, pink, white, and purple. They are popular in cottage-style gardens and cutting gardens.

Delphiniums are a favorite of many gardeners and sometimes a challenge. They prefer moist, cool summers and do not fare well in hot, dry summers. The plants also dislike sudden wind or rain. 

Except for the dwarf perennials, most delphiniums need staking.
