Those are beautiful Karen.If your DL's are blooming,maybe mine will soon.

I was just thinking the same thing Ge, soon! Nice Karen!!

Here's whats up for today

.

last one

just one more

Nice! Lovely JI.'s amd the coloring of that clem is yummy!!!

Karen those are really lovely DLs. So nice and sunny and bright. Nice.
JoAnn really like that blue and yellow collage and the JI, okay they are all beautiful.. Your cosmos is growing really well too.
Here are a few from this mornings walk about.
New rose here for me. 'Black Cherry' all opened up. I am having a hard time getting this one's color right. Pretty close but not as deep red velvet with black accents as it should be. This is a very pretty rose.

Another new one is 'Honey Perfume' which has also just opened up.

Victor said his helenium wasn't quite blooming yet but this is helenium 'Mardi Gras' from Bluestone. These started out as the usual small plants. They are just beginning to bloom, but look at all the buds.

Here is a close up of another plant in bloom.

and this was also a small new plant from HCG this spring, veronica 'Blue Charm'. It is to my eye a bit more blue actually that this pic indicates.

Karen, love your Mom's Movie Theatre Butter! Jo, your new clem is a great blue....I painted my clem Silver Moon with the 3 different colors as it ages....Pat, your Honey Perfume seems darker than mine, but maybe it's the lighting...the scent is wonderful, right?

Just beautiful Pat.I noticed a Baloon flower about to pop.Roses are wonderful

Robin love your painting, so pretty. I think it is partly the morning light, but this bloom seems more golden orange than another that seems to be more yellow. Could be the heat too and it does have a very nice scent.

Yes JoAnn, the balloons are popping now. One of my favorite perennials.

Do you have the short border one? Sentimental Blue?

These are about three-four feet tall. Also started as small Bluestone plants. I have the smaller 1 ft high ones too, but they seem to bloom a little later than these tall ones. They both spread easily from self seeding.

I love the tall ones.My short border ones are from Bluestn too.

Beautiful roses!!
Robin, that is a beutiful piece of work!!

Here it is now I am using fishline to get it to grow up. You can see how this weather is doing for it.

deep sea quest

polish spirit going to town

weeds????... looks localized so I left them... but not sure.. there are two HCG tags nearby .. so might be something that didn't bloom last year

noid that Celeste might be able to ID

finally planted!!!

Beautiful Louisiana iris Allison!

thanks... do they take a while to spread?.... planted mine 2 falls ago... 1st blooms now... and all skinny... or do I need to move them?

Great pix Allison.
Here is my hite JI I have been watching all morning.

I'm zone 6a too, and they spread very slowly here. In warmer climates they can spread very quickly, but I think we're at the edge of their hardiness.

Very pretty Jo! Did you get it from me? If so it's Anytus.

thank you Polly

the different shades of the 3 in 1

Gorgeous blooms, JoAnne, Allison, Celeste and Pat! Oh, and Marilyn, your clem painting is wonderful!

Thanks, guys, for the compliments on my DL's.

Karen
