Source Summary
Midsommar falls on or near the summer solstice. A time when flowering plants look their best before the heat sets in. My purple Bee Balm/Wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), ripe juicy deep indigo blackberries (Rubus sp.), and burgundy Hardy Hibiscus (Rose Mallow) have exploded in flowers and fruit. Tomatoes are developing in two big pots and three dwarf okra plants are outpacing all the others except the tomato in their large container.
