Cancun again cuz I like this pic with the salvia May Night (OMG I just knocked the 'g' letter plate off the keyboard :O It looks like Hal has a little eye under there. How funky weird is that!)

oops forgot to post the pic in all the 'g' eye-of-Hal excitement

love your begonia!!

Me too!! That begonia is stunning...thought it was a poppy when I first looked!

Begonia is 'Crispa White'

Very pretty! Here is coreopsis Redshift.....

Rose

LOBELIA cardinalis Ruby Slipper just starting

Ruby Slipper is a fav of mine...lost it a few years ago....Bill gave me some new cardinal flower, & it's budded....red foliage, red flower....should brighten things up.

Very pretty blooms D-nut, Robin and Jen. Stellas are long gone here but Ruby Slippers haven't started yet and that is a pretty coreopsis.

Tex, this is the first yer I've planted doubles (lilies) like yours. I was impressed with Fata and Morgana and Elodie last year, and they're even prettier this year. But the doubles open in a strange manner, and they really look more like triples. I cannot wait for them to open fully.

Tomatoes going strong and so are the peppers. I have gourd pumpkins and cukes ready, basil ready to bolt; Surprisingly not a lot of Jap beetles this year. crocosmia have buds and liatris with lots of buds as well.

love striped petunias!!

Glads from eflower coop

Freebie at that. The ones that I had before that reseeded were striped purple petunias. Dahlias are slowly getting tall, no buds yet.
Cannas from afar.

Would love some kniphofia, my seeds never germinated. perennial sunflowers behind the canna has a lot of buds and this year they grew to eight feet tall.

here is what is happening here today

Looking good Allison, ya got some JBs on #57

LOL Jen! Who doesn't have those darn things!
Nice pics Allison, and your very welcome ^_^

No idea if i sent that one or not! lol

Love the striped petunia too. Lots of nice blooms and foliage onewish. Specially like that strawberry lily. Bill your hydrangea looks very happy with lots of blooms. I have noticed mine has a lot more but smaller blooms this year.
Here are a few shots from the last couple of days. First is a pic of a new one the agastache 'Pink Pop' which I hope to plant today and the apricot digi already here is 'Goldcrest'.

Calla lily

coreopsis 'Sienna Sunset'

rose 'Crown Princess Margareta'

daisy 'Paladin'

Oh DH is gonna want 'Paladin" just for the name! lol I love that rose Pat!

and my new this spring red lupin decided to bloom.

It is a nice little double daisy. All I can think of is the old western with the gun for hire gunfighter called Paladin. Showing my age now and a lot of people won't know what I am talking about. It was called "Have Gun Will Travel".

Thtas what I was referring to...Brian loves old westerns and Paladin is one of his favs. :)
Guess i'm dating myself as well! LOL

Rama, I really like those bright purple glads....very cheery. Allison, is that Black Beauty lily with the green throat? I have one that escaped the beetles. Pat, I agree with the hydrangeas....small blooms....love that Crown Prin. rose! Bill. your hydrangea bush is a beauty...love the color....here is my purple one....it really is a darker purple than in the photo....

Rose Honey Perfume....

Today's photos are all gorgeous!

There aren't enough yellow roses in the world, we could always use more!

ngam, the 'Crown Princess Margareta' took my breath away!

onewish1, that's an incredible collection; the orange/white double (hibiscus?) is a real eye catcher!

wha, love the thriving hydrangea; the garden hose threatens your reputation as the most perfectionistic gardener in the known universe....

Patti... the CPM is outstanding!!!!.. RD yes that is black beauty... love it too!!!.... Boston that is actually a double impatient .... or a begonia.. not sure which photo you were looking at

Love that rose HP Robin. New here this year and is just loaded with blooms again, will try to get a pic tomorrow. So far very disease free without spraying too.

my shots from today

Wow, cutie hummingbird's wings barely photograph, beautiful shot.

You are so lucky to have all those hummers. I started planting more flowers to attract them...my neighbor gets them at her rose of sharons but toward the end of summer...we'll see if they come around later

I just realized I forgot to spread zinnias seeds this year....nuts!
