Garden Photos: Partie Quatorze (Part 14)

Lucky 13 went extremely fast and was getting too long.

So a brand new day and a brand new thread!

To start off, here's some blooms on a sedum ground cover with Campanula Blue Waterfall as a backdrop.

Closer look at Blue Waterfall just bursting with little blue stars.

Last for now, blooms on a peony bush.

Okay people, keep those pictures coming. Y'all have a good morning!

Love your Blue Falls I have many and love the way they brighten up the ground.Mine should open soon then.
Here is last years.

Miles ... it has a round stem... and it's fuzzy

Allison and Tex great shots, love your noid peony; what were those little flowers, verbena family?
Your mystery plant looks like weeds that I had, think they bloom white small flowers.

the little flower is valerin... Ronnie sent it to me... that is exactly what I was thinking ... white flowers... hopefully one will open today and I will know for sure

The poppies are explodeing.Hope we dont get wind.

Wow love the Blue Falls! The poppies are pretty, I never have much luck with growing them. Allison the Valerian looks great! I have plenty if anyone wants some!

Ramona Clematis

I like your poppies Jo as I have them too!

Joseph's Coat, one of my favorites.

Dont believe the blue lupines.Tagged Gallery Blue,they are purple.

I hope next year the yellow and orange lilies catch up with the lupins and baptisias.

This Coral Honeysuckle blooms from May til November, I love it!

Nice shots Luvs, like the backlit Joseph's coat!
glad someone started a new thread, - going back to my usual haunts now... CYA! ☺

More beauties!

Patti - Manifich has not spread at all in ten years. Not one volunteer. It is not like wild honeysuckle. I would not have it if it did.

I have poppy and lupine envy this morning. I did take some photo's yesterday. Here are a few collages. Patti

Victor, Thanks for the information. I am amazed, so it is now on the want list. Patti

Love the TBI Minn. Mixed Up Kid. Patti

nice color here this morning!

Very nice, Patti.

Are we French?!! ^_^

Wow, I'm just catching up from the last thread! That went quick!! Beautiful blooms everyone!!

Wow so many lovely blooms so quickly. Love this time of year with things popping open all over the place. Good stuff keep it coming.

These perennial snaps just take my breath away

I have that "weed" too Allison, waiting for see it bloom.
I think it's this

I know her!

Daisy Fleabane is a street person who only bathes when she is found on the curb in any city. LOL

Pretty snaps JoAnn.
This big guy was just lounging in the garden late afternoon. Don't know his name but he is quite a formidable character.

This section is coming together finally.

New echinacea this year. A green flower. Should look good with the light pink of 'Hope' when it blooms next door. It is 'Green Jewel'.

Pretty, Jo.

Cool bug shot, Pat. And the bed is looking good. Did you plant that echie last year?

Begonia I picked up yesterday.

Peony.

Sitting wall.

Last - New Dawn on the arbor.

Pat, that's a luna moth....very pretty! Jo, your poppies look great, such a nice accent! Allison, I have the iris with maroon falls, too....makes huge clumps! Patti, that Mixed Up iris is wonderful!

New Dawn is lovely...perfect place for it!

I planted a green echi just a few weeks ago.Green Envy.

I have that one too JoAnn. It will be three this year so I am expecting some nice blooms. The green one in the pic Victor was new this year and came with a bud on it. I will snip this bloom off and let it bloom naturally now. Had to get a look you know how that goes. 'Hope' I planted last year and has returned twice as large. Second try for this one in a different location that it evidently likes. Those roses by your sitting wall are very nice and tempt me. I have pulled out lots of roses here. The addition of the winter moth caterpillars added to the already long list of bugs and blackspot made the plants more of a mess for longer than they looked decent. Love the flowers but the plants just look crummy unless you are willing to put down chems and I am not. Life is too short to put up with an ugly plant when another will do better, jmho.
Here is another new echie that came with a bud. It has already been snipped off. 'Tangerine Dream'.

Anyone picking strawberries already? I just started yesterday. These are june bearers but seem to be a little early like a lot of things this year.

Victor, great New Dawn! Mine is budding nicely and I've got my new umbrella trellis alternative for it...did not want to buy the one from J&P since the Monet Arch I got from them is kinda flimsy...Now I just have the pry the canes we've been shoving behind the gutter for two years and try to train it up this thing...wish me luck!
