Wow, every one's gardens are exploding with tempting plant blooms. I have the "I want" big time. Starting with a dear Lydia. What an lovely shed, Donniebrook. I know you have a cute name for it and now I can see why. I would love to join you for a cup out there.

Pixie, is your Asiatic no-id, Corrida? Your rose 'Double Delight' is now on a drool list.

Amy love your dwarf orange dahlia, even with the dirty hands. I relish any time I can get mine dirty.

Dawn, love your continuing show of clematis. Mine still not being overly exuberant, but growing and producing.

Victor, Love the bee shot in the loosestrife. I do love my big batches of goose neck, Lysimachia clethroides. I know they are thugs, but I have big batches as socks for many big things like oakleaf hydrangea, roses, peonies, lilies etc and they seem to be OK after many years. But I have sandy soil so they are easy to yank out when they wander too far. I also grow, heaven forbid, Lysimachia punctata and as well as the Variegated Yellow Loosestrife 'Alexander'. Both blooming now in my wooded dell.

Here is some happy hollyhocks that don't have bad rust. Some are a mess this year. Patti
