Whats blooming today??

Victor, I think the geranium is Bloody Cranesbill, 'Vision'
Geranium sanguineum, but im not positive. There are tags out there but one winter here in Maine and the writing is NOT on the wall anymore!!

Harper,
I went to the place I bought the "Blue Plant" and it is Veronica Crater Lake Blue. PF has it listed as creeping speedwell but there is no creeping with this plant.

So many beautiful flowers and pictures, everyone. Thank you for the beautiful show.

Victor, the color combination in your wet clematis picture is great. What are the leaves? I generally don't care for yellow foliage, but I'm changing my mind. I loved your recent Ladies Mantle picture also.

Thanks Loretta. That is a Barberry. I think it's 'Aurea' - many gold varieties of plants are dubbed that.

I have some lillies now.

Very nice Al. The deer ate all my Oriental Lilies today.

Bummer! No deer here in the big city. I do have some bugs keeping me from having my first dahlia bloom.

Wow, this thread sure took off. LOL
We are getting into the meat of the season now. Lost of things popping. Cool
I still have a few Iris and the Peonies are just passing peak.

Well Hello Andy!! Nice pictures.....wish you'd come out from hiding more often. That peony is incredible!

beautiful!

Hi, Pixie. I knew when I say a pic thread with you as the author it would be fun. lol
Anita, how are you?
How about a few Daisies. The wild kind that are weeds in my garden.
Andy P

ahhh, but such pretty weeds!

doing good Andy - how about you?

White Iris opened today.

Poppy is getting ready to POP!

It popped and the wind is tearing it up!

Siberian Iris "Butter & Sugar"

My Black Iris bud finally opened.... this is "Superstition".

"Mrs. Bradshaw's" Geum

I love the blue-purple of this Iris but it was the bee trying to hide that made me take the close up.

This is "Cranberry Angels" again, but I just love the green throat!

FFO on Magic Lace

I like the white and blue irises there. I don't see much geum in these parts, they must be hardy right?

Very hardy, i've had mine at least three winters. I recently divided it and it's still blooming! The foliage looks like silver strawberry leaves (my foliage looks nothing like the pic in PF)

Very nice Pixie. Love that dark iris.
What is FFO?

Al, Geum is hardy here. I've had it for 5 years. For me, not much of a plant.

First Flower Opens

Very nice Celeste. FFO - first flower open??

Dave, which Geum do you have?? Mango Lassi????

Yep

Front of my driveway.

Oops!, My "yep" was to Victor.
I have Mrs. Bradshaw, Pix.

Victor, Great!

Thanks Dave.

Oh, I'm lost - nice Victor.

I smell Apple Jacks!

Could a cereal killer on the loose!
