What's Blooming?? # 6

Monarda 'Blue Stockings' is blooming now and attracting visitors.

This I bought at a school fund raiser, this is it's second year here in my garden. It has 7 blooms and approx. 21 buds more to open!

Phlox

Love the butterfly picture..just got my first yesterday on a daylily.

No Idea..

"Flutterbye" in the rain.

No idea...

Packet of mixed blue flowers I planted and this bloomed so far.

Pink asiatic

Do you know the name of the phlox? Love the soft lavender color. I have not seen any monarchs here yet but I hope pretty soon. All your lilies are so pretty, it must be beautiful in your garden .

I finally found the tag for this short little oriental lily. It's "Mona Lisa"

My brother gave me the phlox and he didn't have a clue.

My gardens are out of control and need dividing badly!! Here is a shot of part of one (I have 13) taken yesterday. Daylily season is not even in peak bloom yet.

Now this is another small one that I like but can't find the tag for. I wish those Wood Nymphs would leave them alone!!

Hello all NEst'ers. I am a frequent lurker on this forum, but seldom comment. I spend most of my time in the heuchera, peony, and hosta forums.

I am enjoying the pictures very much. I especially enjoy the daylily photos. I have a few and love them, but find I have not "overdone" it with them because the short time they are around. I "overdo" the heucheras and coneflowers.

I do have a few favorite DL though. This was 50 cents from a nice garden center that could not find the tags.

and Razzmatazz

and another unknown..it had a name and I lost the tag

Hi there, rsquared:

I hope you visit more often.

A note from me for today ... too much rain!!! Everything is beginning to look more than a bit water-logged, and the poor roses - their flower petals are brown on the edges. *sigh* What's a gardener to do????

Pixie - lovely photos, even if things are a bit wet. Ngam - love those photos, too!!

It has been another good year for the coneflowers.

Raining here too, but our area really needs it still.

Beautiful coneflowers. Coneflowers are on my list of 'wants' for next year.

I have around 20 different kinds. I said the were my "overdo." I would highly recommend Razzmatazz, very cool and unusual.

Fatal Attraction very tall and deep dark color

Very nice!! Now I know that these are at the top of my 'wanted' list!!

Oh they are all gorgeous aren't they. So many plants so little time, money and space! I got the coneflower bug too this year. Added Twilight, Harvest moon, Summer Sky and After Midnight. Already had Sunrise and Ruby Giant. Anyone try Tiki Torch yet? And I really need Green Envy. This is 'Summer Sky'.

and on the short side, Lilliput, is compact and upright and good bloomer

Ruby Giant is another great one. I do not have Tiki Torch or Green Envy. I know Green Envy is a must have for me too.

My Twilight did not get enough sun where I placed it and looks nothing like yours ngam. Yous is beautiful.

Rose

Here are how the gardens look today :-)

Another shot :-)

A final shot of the backyard, looking toward the arbour. Did you notice in the previous pictures that DH painted the fence (yeah, like you remember what my fence looked like, lol)

Dizzy the lily :-)

Pink Pearl

No name begonia

Liatris with the impatiens I grew from seed.

dahlias

Seandor

Beautiful gardens. I love the hardscape (arbor and fences) you have used. They really add to the beauty of your flowers. A real garden setting!

Rose

Thanks - DH did ALL the hardscape - but it was my idea to put the arbour at an angle :-)

Well darn Seandor that's pretty! I love the shape of your beds, everything flows so nicely. The blue flowers are batchelor buttons? Oh and campanula too, somebody always eats that here.

Yes - lots and lots of bachelor buttons. these were winter sowed (thank goodness) There was this huge bald spot this spring, since the perennials and roses are so small. So, not knowing what else to do, I planted the bachelor buttons mixed with babies breath, and in the front I planted linaria (all winter-sowed plants).

There is a lot of catmint (Blue Wonder -it's terrific!) But the seeds don't seem viable . . .

Very nice everyone!! Michaela, is that a painted wood fence or a pvc? Can't tell from the photo.

Celeste, your no names could make a wonderful garden themselves! By the way, feel free to send any nymphs my way.

rsquared, what is the reason behind your screen name?? Second, do you have Pink Double Delight? I do but don't have Razzmatazz and I'm wondering if there's much of a difference.

The white fence is just pvc - but the beige fence is a cheap wood one that DH painted this past week.
