I thought the spring thread was getting a bit long so share what you have even if it is still spring at your place.
Signs of summer- What do you have blooming?
2nd year clematis putting on a show.
Poppies at my new homestead...
I have Little Lanterns Columbine blooming in the right back, and Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart D. eximia on lower right.
Dutch Iris ...
bearded iris..this one is my favorite this week.
roses are starting to bloom
columbine in all colors.. this pink & white one is so pretty
This black beauty delphinum is terrific.
last one for tonight..one of my window boxes on my garden shed.
Verbena>
Wow, some stunning shots.
Okay, lemme give it my best shot...
As you can see, it's been raining here today. No idea what kind of lily this is, other than my first ever! 8* )
My 2nd year with this clematis, and the only Lamb's ear that I've let bloom - darn things are popping up EVERYWHERE...
Lavender .... Hidcote, I think. Also 2nd year.
And my only real disappointment - Echinacea 'Double Decker' - maybe I'm being too impatient; this is the first bloom. But it's hiding halfway down the stalk and it has some little weird bud things from the disc, but certainly not a second story.
Summertime>
Beautiful pictures everyone. My side yard is starting to fill in on its
second season.
Iris of the day...
Cream & purple (noid) iris
Very pretty, Bea, I like your trellis and white birdhouses. Very elegant. And your potato vine looks wonderful. I have growing in the shade and the last couple of years it has bloomed so heavy. I think I might have to get the white version too. Joann
It's so fun to see everyone's June blooms! Lots of color!
We have a nice yellow iris blooming with the nepeta. The iris is kind of a "55 mile an hour" iris, but nice just the same.
And some siberian iris-- this particular one is so much prettier than in the photo. Behind it is hardy geranium "Rosanne"
Dale, that picture is gorgeous! I love seeing shots of the garden, and not just the individual flowers, although I enjoy those, as well! You sure have a knack for this.
Beahive, very nice garden! What is that larger plant with the purple flowers?
The plant growing up the fence is called a potatoe vine. Hope that is the name you were after.
Dale, Bea, Tab -- wonderful pics!!! Bea, I love the bird houses on the trellis!
I have never heard of a potato vine...is it a Solanum? They're not hardy here..durn it!
Suzy
Rainbow Sorbet in all her glory.
And my first real companion planting bed -- did it ever work! Tomatoes, carrots, bee balm, basil, and marigolds! Very productive little bed.
Jo In Tx,
It's my job. Photos is the hobby.
And an extra "blossom" in the zinnias!
Oy - very sweet! Good to see you Brigidlily- you should give us a pic of the entire yard, I'd love to see how it's coming along.
Dale, tell the boss you need a *raise*. I love that bed! Great job.
My scabiosa and morris berd phlox just started blooming.
My foxglove, bleeding hearts, columbine, salvia, and johnson's blue geraniums are still in bloom.
My lavender (to the left of the weeping blue tree) and my astilbe (behind the hosta under the big pine tree) are in bud. Okay. This is sad. I just realized that I've taken more pictures of my garden this spring than of my children. Obsession maybe?
pgt - 'I just realized that I've taken more pictures of my garden this spring than of my children.' ROTFL! don't feel bad I think I'm right there with ya!
Dusty,
I love your poppies. They are my favorite flower - yet, I have non in my garden!
Bea,
That black beauty it to die for.
Dale,
I love the colors in your garden. I wish I was brave enough to add more than just pinks and blues to my garden. Your garden is just lovely.

Try these-Oriental poppies, they would do very well for you, an easy perennial. This is the Botanical Garden in Berlin>
I'm sold. I must have those poppies in my garden. Thanks Dale.
Pagancat,
I am self-employed and I just raised my rates a couple months ago, I deserve mo' money!
Indeed, you do! I think you do lovely work.
