Hello All,

I have some gardens that were planted by a previous owner that are getting a bit out of control. This is the first spring / summer that I have been home since I bought my home in 2006. I have never done any gardening but I would like to get this under control. I have been able to figure out what some of the plants are, but for all I know I could be caring for some weeds. So I'd like to post a few pictures and see if I can get some help identifying what I have.

This is the first one, it bloomed on June 22. It looks really nice but it appears to be the only one in the garden. Thanks for your help :)
