What's blooming today # 2

Ouch!

My first rose - an English rose called Sharifa Asma. Eleanor

This is a double white impatien with a hint of pink. Eleanor

Very beautiful.

I haven't ventured out today in this heat but yesterday a Louisiana iris, Megan Victoria, was in bloom........probably still is.

I'm devastated! I thought I sensed her essence in one of the photos.

Essence? Oh my, it's more serious than I ever imagined.

pirl, only in HIS head is it that serious. The rest of us just call it "nuts".

Poor Victor . . . . it's all right Victor, CZJ really does care.

So pretty, Everyone. I especially like the delicate pink ones. My Endless Summer hydrangeas are blooming now.

Nice shot Loretta. Mine is blooming too.

More and more Asiatic lilies are blooming.

Nice Pirl!

Oh pirl! I love them!

Thanks! Any day now they'll all be in bloom at once. They're running a few days late this year.

Nice pics today.

Here is the big new echinacea intro for this year:

One of my regular Day Lilies.
Andy P

Pirls, those are simply lovely!!
Al, I really like Green Envy! Is that a soft pink on the petals too?
Andy, for a "regular daylily" that one sure is an eye opener!

Loretta, I love Endless Summer, it's one of my favorites.

Delphinium has started....not sure why this one is opening so soon, the rest aren't ready yet. I think it's one of the new ones I got this year.

Gaillardia "Tokajer" just starting.

Primrose is almost done..

Group picture of "Buff Pixie"

Pixie - you have Tokajer? I have been wanting to see that one. I wonder if the color changes as it ages - sort of looks like Burgundy right now.

Nope my burgandy one is darker. (wink) It's not in bloom yet, got buds though! We will have to compare once it starts and i'll try to get a better picture of Tokajer.

Pixie, I say 'regular' because they came in a pack of 'mixed' diploid seed. My first try at Daylilies from seed. That plant is over 10 years old, hiding the gas meter, lol.
Here is it's neighbor. You can see the first one in the background, top left.

Pixie - I also want to see Summer Kiss if you need a reason to buy it. Please post Tokajer a bit later too.

One of each again, Al? Smart to let others try it first though!

Hey Green Envy came from Garden Crossings.

I actually saw Summer Kiss around last year, now it's gone this year.

I've got 2 of these Art's Pride echinacea - they're OK - I'll trade one for some magic beans.

2!! What's gotten into you Al?

Great photos, everyone. Al, that last photo is wonderful with such similar colors in several shapes.

Nice pics everyone!! My Niobe clematis that I planted last year has bloomed. It almost didn't make it last year - could have been the woodchucks - but it is doing fairly well this year. The blossoms are small and a little rough looking but it is in bloom!! Eleanor

Congrats Eleanor. That velvety color is amazing. It's one of my favorites.

Nice Eleanor - I like dark red.

Victor I got one free is how that happened.
Pirl - maybe I'll take a good photo of that for you.LOL

Al was the other one in that photo Oranges and Lemons Gaillardia??

It blurry.LOL Yes it is - I left that one there and put the other Art's Pride in the coneflower bed. I lost Mango Meadowbright - that one was a bit nicer.

I have a nonblurry photo. I always laugh when I take these 'guy' photos.

Look at how both top petals do that curl thing.

I broke down and got one myself from GC. It arrived today. My first Gaillardia.

Al - beautiful Mona Lisa times two. Maybe it's ML's version of a comb over?

Victor - congratulations. We always remember the first one so fondly.

Beautiful pics all

Eleanor-wtg on your Niobe-They are tough to grow...Ive been having a rough time with mine.

Al-Gorgeous Green Envy!

Thanks for posting all the gorgeous pics everyone.
~Dawn

So true Pirl. Are we talking about plants??

Victor!
