Garden Photos - Part 17

and this one....

dwarf chinese delphinium grandiflorum "blue butterfly"
I planted this last year in my patriotic whiskey barrel it didn't have a label(don't know why I never looked it up to ID...) I thought it was an annual pleasantly surprised that it came back this year along with the vinca vine.

My first zinnia, planted from seeds collected last year.

babys breath in my wildflower garden, you always see them in bouquets I've never seen them open, they're cute!

Nice, Jen - love that blue delph.

Celeste - that mophead came with the house so I don't know how old it is. I don't feed it at all!

It's beautiful Victor!! Looks like purple, pink then blue.


Jen..beware of the cute baby's breath. This is mine I started from seed 5 years ago. It's about 3 ft wide and 4.5-5 feet tall now.

Oh my... I thought it was an annual.

Celeste, I keep trying to wintersow pink baby's breath - I think it actually might be cute!

Well this one wasn't. I got a free pack of seeds from blooming bulb i think with an order of bulbs. It seems Blooming Bulb or maybe it was American Meadows...anyways they look at your zone and then send seeds appropriate to your zone. BB is just starting to show some white so she'll be popping soon!

So many of you have a lot of exotic plants, so very beautiful, mine can't compare with most of them. We had terricic eletrical storms here, all afternoon, kind of scary, it hit one pine tree about 60 feet tall now lying across half of my yard.

Yes the roses are my most treasured plant in the garden

Wow - good thing there was no serious injuries or damage, Maria.

Having trouble earlier getting my photos to post. Here's the rest of the 'Strawberries and Cream' Lilies.

And...

Amethyst Astilbe with Ostrich Fern

Very pretty Dyane!

I'm feeling well, Victor. Thanks for asking. Just crazy around the house here. I have an illness in the family so I've been going back and forth to the hospital and my house is being worked on top to bottom. New roof and chimney on top and basement waterproofing, heating, floors, etc. down below. Doesn't leave much time for gardening or photography. I'm just happy to get out each day for a few minutes and see what's coming into bloom.
Here's Blushing Bride Hydrangea with 'ditch lilies'.

Thank you, Pixie. Your garden looks beautiful, so many different flowers blooming now. Glad you explained about the Rose of Sharon, I was wondering about it too!
Here are the Delphiniums I picked up after seeing everyone's beautiful bloom here on this forum. Here's 'Aurora Blue'.

I hope these grow well here, I love the colors. Here's 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue with Dark Bee'.

And 'Magic Fountains Sky Blue'.

There was lightning with hail coming down in New Hampshire earlier today. My sister was trying to talk to me outside and she had to take cover. I'm glad you are ok, Maria. Sorry about the tree.
Here's Angelonia Summer Snapdragon with Evening Primrose or Sundrops.

Maria, Love your old family rose. Glad you are OK after the storm.

DyanesGarden, love your magic fountains. You sound like you are dealing with a lot. Glad you have your garden to escape to.

I took some shots this afternoon after the minor storm we had here for about a half an hour. Lots of lightening and thunder, but very little rain. Here is shrub rose 'Rockin Robin'

you have good taste Dyane!
