Marilyn, look what happened to the little hosta you gave me last year! What a surprise... It vanished and I thought the slugs got it, but noooo...

Yay, Pam...glad to see it survive.....also jealous of the lupine, which will not grow for me.....Beds look nice this time of year.....don't remember planting this orange iris...happy accident with iris matching JM.....

Here's the photo of one of the beds.....

Wow you guys have such nice selections of plants! Love the Iris hopefully mine will bloom next year.

A few roses

I love roses

I like the way the sun was shining on these.

great shots, I think some of those are photo contest worthy

no doubt.. pretty shots!!!

Thank you!

Lovely roses! And I can't believe you have sun.....clouds & more clouds here......

Beauteous blooms!!!

Beauties!

Beautiful roses, beautiful pictures!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Love the roses Ronnie and the picture of the baptisia is photo contest worthy!!

Thanks Celeste!

No need to thank me, it's the truth! You captured the lighting PERFECTLY!!!

something to think about

Funny, Jo....my grandkids would to see it! Poppy just opened, along with Top Brass peony, & Pink Fantasy clem....

Pretty! I love the color of the clem.
My peonies are officially mud with all these downpours....grrr

Does someone want to take a guess IDing this rose? It's a climber, about 6 or 7 ' tall...medium citrus scent.....repeat bloomer.....I have no clue what I planted! Oh, & it's hardy here which means at least zone 5......

Don't know, but nice!

America maybe?

I really like the Maple leaves, Ronnie! You have mud puppy peonies, I have pink mulch.

Really nice shots, people.

Celeste, I love all your irises. I keep saying I need to get more dwarf bearded ones.

Ronnie, yes, some contest-worthy shots in your bunch.

Marilyn, I like that orange iris.

Karen

Hey Karen If you can go the the iris show at Harvey Wheeler Center in Concord the afternoon of Memorial Day, the club will be selling some dwarf irises as they have finished bloom.

I kept fixing my hoop on mine Weeze... gave up after the 4th time.. poor soggy things

Gave up on mine too Allison! Now my Joseph's Coat has black spot, we really need to dry out some.

I haven't looked for black spot yet.. guess I will be doing that today.. we are getting a little sun tomorrow.. then rain until tuesday

:(

Mine are at the halfway point. Any more rain and they'll be facedown. Lots of blackspot here too, even the roses that are not usually bothered by it.

Aloha seems to be enjoying the weather though.

The roses are beautiful.
Oriental Poppies starting here

this is the first year my poppy plants look great... quite a few buds out there this year!!

Its great to see them increase.I forgot mine are only 3 years old.Maybe its going to be a big year for poppies and a dud for lilies with the freakie spring we had.
