Cute Little Treefrog

I saw this little guy by the back deck.  Although he is officially a Grey Treefrog as you can see he is green.  Some of them are brown and , of course, some are grey. I don't know what accounts for the variation in colour. They can climb way up in the trees with their suction cup feet and have a surprisingly loud call. This one is about 2" long. Pretty cute.

Campanulas and some other June perennials

 The garden has been a lot of green this year as I didn't buy any annuals. I have planted some zinnias and nasturtiums but they won't bloom for a while yet. But here and there, perennials are blooming.
I planted the pink Canterbury bells (Campanula medium) last year and, as they are a biennial, they just grew a rosette of leaves last summer. Now they have sent up some tall flower stems and should bloom for a few weeks. They might even give a second show if I trim them back after the first flush of flowers. Beside them is the lavender peach-leaf campanula (campanula persicifolia) which is a perennial and a tough one at that. It can be a bit unruly if it is in good garden soil but it will also bloom in less than ideal conditions so it's a handy plant. I like the two campanulas side by side.  The Canterbury bells could theoretically self-sow but they never have in the past so if I want more I will have to start some plants from seed in the house.

The fragrant messy Blanc Double de Corbet rugosa rose is blooming. Tough as nails.

 A short Knock-Out rose that doesn't have any fragrance but  is an eye-popping pink and comes through the winter with no protection.

 This is a miniature rose that I've had for years. It's in a terrible location with a lot of shade, competing with tree roots but it still puts out a couple of defiant pretty little flowers.

The mock orange has taken forever to bloom properly. Many years! Finally it is giving us a bit of a show.

The evening primrose are dealing with a location that gets shadier by the year . In spite of the lack of sun, it still blooms fairly well.  It can be aggressive but that also makes it undemanding and in the fall the leaves turn a nice burgundy red.
