Whats blooming today??

The Apple Jacks weren't dead!

I heard Apple Jack WAS the killer!

Don't make me Honey Smack you now.

My bodyguard is Capt. Crunch so I'm safe.

Not if I send Count Chocula!

Frankenberry's already on my side. He can be easily bribed.

Victor, can you fit any more in that garden? You plant like I do ~ stuff them in, lol. Beautiful. Which Corriopsis are those?
Todays flower is a weed, I have plenty of those. I don't know what it is.
Andy P

Andy - it's deceiving from that angle - that's why I shot it that way! There still holes that need filling. I do like a somewhat crowded, but behaved bed. Fewer weeds that way. I don't remember the Coreopsis - had Sun or Sunshine in the name. They're about 8 or 9 years old and volunteer a bit.

Andy, You have the best weeds!

I forgot the name of that one Andy. I remember popping the seedheads as a youngster.

I have 2 Monarda buds to add. This one I call blush.

And this one I call medusa

Al I really like your Monarda's....thats one plant I haven't bought yet.

My Mock Orange is starting to open up nicely and attracting visitors too!

"Gypsy Queen" has it's first bud.

Allium

(I think this is) Caesar's Brothers and Sugar and Butter Iris

More beauties, Celeste. Love that Gypsy.

Thanks Victor, I love the vistors too. Had 3 of these dancing from blossom to blossom today.

Celeste, Wonderful!

Nice shot.

Nice shots Pixie. I've been trying to get BF shots - not many here right now.

Thanks all,
I walked the field and didn't see any, got to the side of the house where the Mock Orange is and they were flutter-fighting over the blossoms! Got a M.O.??

Pixie,
Your flowers/pictures are soooo pretty. I especially like the poppy ready to pop. It looks like it has earmuffs on. How is your DH?

BigAl,
Great Medusa shot.

This is fun! so many pretties.

Pix, I love the shot of Caesar's Brothers and Sugar and Butter. could be in a catalog :) nice to see the b'flies. haven't been many around here. my hummers are back, though. one of them is funny. when the feeder is empty, she buzzes the patio door.

Andy, so glad you've been lured out...love your mountain laurel. I have a dwarf 'Little Linda', but it takes a beating from the winter wind. Is it time to mow down those daisies yet?

Hi Loretta!! DH gets his staples out today and a real cast put on so he's excited. He has been in bed for 14 days and is stir crazy so just the ride to the doctors is making him happy!! LOL
Thanks for asking about him, im sure it will cheer him up also.

couple of blooms on Stella, but no other DL's yet

'morning, Pix. say Hi to Brian. glad he's making progress!

these 'Princess of India' nasturiums are practically electric...the color is amazing. seeds sent to me by a DG friend :)

'Goldmound' spirea and (I think) Heuchera 'Palace Purple' in the foreground...all interspersed with the ever popular horsetail weed

closeup of the spirea

can't get my lamium to spread because there's about 4-5" of mulch, but it's pretty

a few blooms on my new 'Summer Wine' ninebark

'Arctic Queen' clematis (hope I didn't already post this somewhere)

and one fully open

WOW Gram!!! Your garden is blooming beautifully!!!!!! Love that "Little Linda" and I went and peeked at the rose forum so I could see the rose's you have blooming. Just gorgeous!! So happy you are reaping in the rewards of all your hard work.

Brian will be a hurting unit later on today, but he's excited to get out of the house right now. It's 2.5 hour trip to the doctors so he may not be as excited on the way home!! LOL

Give Brian my best too, Celeste. Each milestone is a big deal. Great shots Jan. That does look like Goldmound or Goldflame - I have Goldflame. Love the foliage on the Nasturtium. Do you use them in salads?

bachelor's button

I put the roses in collage so I don't turn this thread into 'Jan's rose garden'. these are what has bloomed the last few days

Jan,
The title is "Whats Blooming Today?" if your rose's are blooming......please post them. Don't be stingy....share for those of us who don't have many.(like me!) I love looking at your variety and it gives me an idea of what might do well here. So please share, pretty please??

WOW, Gram. You're on fire here. lol Great pics. The Mountain laurel is a sweet color.
The Daisies have another week, I think. They are all over you know. I planted some Wave Petunias near one big clump. I'll yank that one up when it's done and nobody will be the wiser. Marigolds will replace the others.
I've had the same Marigolds for decades, I just save the seeds in the Fall and toss them around in the Spring. Then I move the seedlings around.

Shall we start PART 2 since this thread is getting rather lengthy? I don't know how exactly to do it. Tamara
