Everything is starting to explode here so I thought i'd start a thread to post pictures from my garden. Feel free to post any blooms that you have blooming today!
I'll start with one of my iris's that opened this morning. No name as most of them are.......
This one is "Spiced Custard" ( one tag that didn't blow away!)
This is the Iris bed, it's almost in full bloom!

Beautiful Celeste! You may warrant an entire Forum!!
I know, I think you've been stockpiling those.
I have flowers on my Black Lace sambucus now.
The bed at my neighbor's of mine is pretty much all in bloom on the one side, Knautia,Husker Red and Carnaval weigela.
I got a popcorn ball, I got a pack of gum............I got a hosta flower.
Here's a good pic of my trim.LOL No, my Summer Sun heliopsis has gone crazy this year. In the back right is Alma Potshcke aster which is one of my bigger perennials.
I was gifted with this bloom this morning:
Honorine de Brabant
And this totally awesome Iris:
"Starship Enterprise"
and trekkies out there in Daveland?
Al, the peeling paint pattern on the trim echoes the stones in the mulch. Man, you're good!
Lovely pictures everyone, love Starship Enterprize!
Al, I have a birthday coming up so I might have to ask DH for that Black Lace sambucus . I've been eyeing it for over a year now, do you think it will survive here or is it finicky? If so, it's gonna die! I don't have time for fussy plants right now. I'm mother, wife, nursemaid on duty 24 -7 right now, and lawn care and garden matinence person. My idea of lawn care and maintaining the mower since it broke down........go to Home Depot and buy a new one. Yup, DH doesn't know it yet but he's getting a new mower for Father's Day. It's a Club Cadet Garden Tractor 27 hp w/a 54" mower deck. I hope he likes it, and that my idea of "fixing" the problem!
My Black Lace (planted last Spring) had their first blooms this year too. Didn't get the chance to photograph them. I only noticed one bloom on mine. How old is yours Al?
I bought mine a year ago too Victor. I grew to about 4' and only died back about 6". They say it's a dieback shrub so you should be fine Celeste. I'll take a full pic tomorrrow.
Nice pics Tamb.
Deb, Honorine is gorgeous!
Pixie, amazing!
Al, I want some sambucca!
Great pics!!!
Bought this Jacobs Ladder a few weeks ago and it just started blooming this past week. Started out so small and seems to have doubled in size overnight.
I like Jacob's Ladder.
Here is the full shot of Black Lace, I have mine staked to help train it - I have seen floppy(sloppy?) examples around.
Looks nice Al. Mine is not staked and is holding itself up okay.
Nice with the little allium there Al.
That's not a little one - it's Globemaster.LOL
fairly slow here yet. Another one of those early season asters.
