Nice 'clock', Jo Ann! Shelly, it's from Graceful Gardens and is short. I believe it's Sky Blue from the Magic Fountains series.
ooohhhh.... that's it! I couldn'g think of the name of the shorter series of them. thanks!
I think some 'thinning' is in order.
Climber 'Joseph's Coat'
This rose has many different 'faces'.
One last one......
Spiderwort

My first lily opened...'Buff Pixie'
White Rugosa
Poppy still blooming
Thanks, Victor, for getting me onto this thread---I don't ususally wander about, but the pics are just beauties! This is what we've been dreaming about all winter. Loved the peony--unusual color! Pix--I've always wanted to try Joseph's Coat--I now think I will--Jo Ann---loved the penstemon. I have Rock Mt. blue blooming & a noid. Here are 2 roses--Fourth of July, & Baby Love.
Robin...I just got '4th of July' 2 weeks ago. I love it!!!!!
I do, too, but some years it gets a lot of winter kill--this year was a good year for it. I have a clump of noid Oriental lilies that bloom every year in June--purchased them from WFF about 10 years ago, & they are still going strong.
Nice shots, Celeste and Robin. I like Joseph too. Of course you have Buff Pixie, Celeste!
More of the noid roses - on a trellis behind a bench in my pool area.
Combo with Ramona - timing turned out a bit off. Would have looked much better if the Ramona was not fading at this point.
Last one of that combo.
Victor, Ramona only looks faded to you. I think that combo looks fantastic. Very nice.
Celeste, I love that blue iris! I think I'm gonna faint! Is it a siberian?
Harper yes...and I have a some im bringing with me to the RU.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!
I'm bringing some siberian iris, too, so there will be plenty for everyone.
Now, can we have too many brownies? Because that's what I had mentioned I would bring, too. But if two people bringing brownies are too many, perhaps I'll bring chips or pickles. I'm adaptable.
There's no such thing as 'too many' brownies. We have long drives home. Brownies will be enjoyed then too!
Oh, then. I'll make sure I bring plenty of those goodies!
The hummingbirds are happy to see the trumpet vines. They were humming about for days in frustration while awaiting the grand opening.

The first Maypop of what promises to be many. This is looking like a bumper crop.

First zinnia opening.
...and in a day of firsts, the first girl cucumber is showing her stuff.
Maypop....love that zinnia photo!
Eucalyptus niphophila blooming:
Hard to capture those fuzzy blooms with the wind shaking them:
Sold to me as Oriental poppy "Patty's Plum" - which is isn't:
noid honeysuckle started from two tiny clippings 4 years ago, has covered an 8'x8' L-shaped grid, and is now reaching ever upwards to the clothesline:
DH did a doubletake when he saw this - a volunteer snapdragon growing right up through the middle of a rhododendron:
more volunteers - poppies growing in the gladiola box:
These are everywhere, and each year, the colours are different, as they hybridise themselves - they started as a row of very dark red dwarf seeds along a garden's front edge. They have become lighter and taller each year.
David, thanks. I'm just learning how to use a camera. That was my first time cropping. I love ALL the photos and am learning so much about other gardens.
