Unlike many of you, I don't have a lot in bloom at the moment. Its a brand new garden and I've planted a lot of first year perennials -- they will look glorious next year! There are buds on a lot of the annuals I planted but no blooms quite yet. And many of my poor plants were eaten very quickly by the horde of snails I have living under the perriwinkle the previous home owner planted everywhere. Even though I've pulled up most of their habitat I've still lost all my french marigolds, most of my nicotiana, and about half of my salvia! And most of my other plants have a hole here or there *grumble, grumble*.

Anyway, I was going to wait until some of my plants were a bit more mature before posting, but I just took some photos last night of the few that are bloom so I might as well post them.

Left to Right, top to bottom:
A) Field marigolds
B) group of coleus that are a little crowded (oh well) and are going to be re-potted this weekend.
C) Petunia - fantasy pink hybrid. I just love this colour.
D) Some oxeye daisies that must have seeded themselves last year. They are just everywhere!
E) A black-eye susan about to bloom. I love this plant so much so I planted them inside in March for earlier blooms.

Will post more when I actually get flowers!
