I will have tons of seeds, but since I have so many colors, no guarantees on what the babies will look like.
Also in that bed nicotiana:
Summer ...show your pic's # 2
My first dahlia from seed:
And my Lauren's Grape poppies..
oh, your hollyhocks are so beautiful. I can not wait to get blooms next year...
The daylilies are in full swing now.
Red, peach and gold are my favorite colors, but this bright lemon yellow is really a charmer.
A spider version of my favorite shade of red.
One of many bold gold daylilies in my garden.
Another lemon yellow - all of the daylilies are loaded with blooms this year, probably because of our nice wet spring.
The last couple lilies.
I posted the first bloom on this one earlier,
Cappuccino
A rescued daylily.
It was being tossed,and I thought it was too pretty

african daisy,larkspur,zinnias
iam lovin the zinnias
Your zinnias add such 'spark' to the beds- I'm wishing I'd planted the packets of zinnia seeds I could not resist in February.
Beautiful flowers everyone. Looks like summer is here!
These have really bloomed this year.
Leawood ,this is my first yr. growing zinnias,they are doing pretty good ,even in my shadier areas,4hrs of sun,Iam doing more next yr.I satrted mine inside w/ lights march 15,Ill start them alittle later next winter,got big fast !!
This clematis made it down the front fence this year..
hugger, love all your colorful flowerbed. zinnias are my favorite to grow. So easy and blooms all summer long!
Bea,both are beautiful
Lili,do you dead head regularly?
yes. I usually let the first few go to seeds and then deadhead them the rest of the season. That way, I'll have seeds for next year. Some people wait until the end of season, but I like to go ahead and do it and get it over with, just in case of early frost or something.
The California Giants zinnias get really tall - about 4-5ft.

Bea , do you know the name of the clematis ?
The four petals make it look like a butterfly.(very pretty)
Gardengus. There may be a marker but it is way back in the bed at this point in the season. I will try to
look when the fall cut back is in full swing. It is a pretty one, but took three seasons to get to this point. It was small 2" pot when I got it in 2006.
Some platycodons
The daylilies are in full bloom now - here is how the border garden looked at 7:00 am this morning.
Looking down the border garden - everything seems so fresh early in the morning!
The creek along my garden is home to several mallard ducks - their ducklings have grown almost as large as the adults, but they still tag along with their mom!
Clematis growing by the door to the garage (I have two varieties here - HenryI and Nelly Moser, which has not yet bloomed this year)
The water lilies ("Colorado") are blooming now. The photo was taken at noon - the colors are so washed out - it's a beautiful bloom.
Leawood, I love how you have the lattice over the door for the climber. I might have to do that over my garage.
