Blooms 2011 #5

Froggie.

Forest Pansy redbud.

wow honeysuckle already???.. mine look like they are just gearing up... I am seriously thinking of taking a cutting and grow it inside over the winter to see if I can get blooms sooner.. was so nice when I received the coral from FL blooming already last spring

Technically not a weed...

Thx Allison. Jen, love tempting fate and the clem. Very nice.
The rain is knocking all my floppies down. I hope my house plants make it outside, cool and wet. Last frost day was last Sunday.

So much for the nights in the 30's.
40's arent much better.Still misty and foggy-cold here too.

Very pretty blooms! Victor, I'm jealous that your crape survived....here's a primrose trying to bloom in the rain....

Karen, love post #8569882

Thanks, guys. Bishop's Hat is another common name for epimedium. I just found out it's considered an aphrodisiac.

Pretty coleus, Rama. A new pot? I just bought a few and need to get them potted up.
