Blooms 2011 #5

nice to see the sun in those shots Jen!!!!... going to start pouring here any second.. AGAIN

I noticed one of my roses was budded......that bloom is a beauty! My TBIs are showing color.....

We had a dry spell....got a few pics and cut the grass.

noid rhody

Got my clem Jack from Brushwood, first time ordering from them. Is it common to get a plant with two sets of leaves, the root system looked healthy and good.
Here is iris war chief.

clem Hakuba

Yes, Rama. Dan sends good stuff. With clems, the roots are more important than the top growth.

Clem Ilka just waking up

A peony!

Rose Zephrine Drouhin

first of Crown Princess Margareta's blooms

Wisteria starting to pop

Veronica Crystal River (I think) really took off this year

Nice Weeze. Your clems look delicate. I am slowly getting over losing Niobe, saw the leaves come this spring but died. RIP. Your rose and the peony are absolutely gorgeous.

Allison's Iris....it got knocked over in the rain, but this bloom is determined to remain upright :)

Looking good, Weeze! Love that darker Wisteria

Wow nice view for the drivers to see peoniae

Thanks, don't give up on Niobe. I've had clems hide for more than a year. You might want to avoid planting it's spot just in case.
rose Polareis, the whole bush. This is a great rose that seems to love the NE!

Sorry Weeze, didnt mean to cross post while you are on a roll. Allison's iris looks like a wispy cloud. Pretty. Love the wisteria, mine are still white.
Siberian iris.

Baptisia Twilight Prairie Blues

I LOVE that one!!!!

Not a problem Rama.....The sibs are hitting their stride, aren't they?? beautiful ! They're popping out all over here too.

Gnu blues... Venu!!!.. I am agreeing I love the baptisia!!!!

This is a bloom on red tipped photinia. I never noticed a bloom before

Gnu's Blues!.....I have to divide it this year. A good thing :) Love that one!

scotch broom bloom...bit of a tongue twister

A patriotic vibe

red

white

and blue Columbine (kinda purple) just heard thunder

SB is neat too

The SB was an impulse buy. I wanted to hide a gas meter that's in front of the house. It did such a good job the gas meter reader guy asked us to cut it back. He can't read the meter :)

Loving that Scotch broom too!!!!

Beauties, Weeze!

siberians in bloom? Even our IBs (intermediates) are not out as yet.

This epimedium is going out. Probably the last photo.

Another photo of Banded Tiger

Bluebeards Ghost

Wydini with Tulip Chinatown

love the iris JoAnn

Thanks.I'm waiting for 3 more to open. Cool damp weather makes it slow.

I lost both of my Apricot agastaches. What a bummer.

Very nice blooms Weeze, love the scotch broom. Joann Wydini is pretty.
Amen to cool, damp weather. One of my raspberry peony is waterlogged and they dont like it well. Here is festiva maxima, with the darned rain the showy peonies are dropping petals.

Pretty Jo Ann! Probably too much rain for the agastaches.

Rain or no rain, Festiva is still beautiful!

sorry JoAnn... they don't like it this wet

:(
