Nice stuff, you guys!

Cousin Nut, nice to see you have so much going on at your place. I especially like 13 with the plain background, as it really makes it stand out, and I love the blue clem in 18. Oh, and your bleeding heart looks great, too!

Sherrie, LOV is Lily of the Valley.

Here are some pics I took yesterday.

NOID peony

Close-up

I believe this peony is Festiva Maxima.

NOID Asiatic Lily, a very bright beacon in the garden.

o sigh peonys. Very prettiful Cousin Nut. My dear friend Carol (fancyvan) is going to help me pick out some peonys for one of the beds when we riiiiiiip out the driveway. I luv the Festiva Maxima.

I like this blue tradescantia.

Thanks, Cousin Nut! Festiva Maxima sure is a nice one.

Here is a tradescantia I like even better than the last. This shade of blue really pops against the chartreuse foliage.

Here is just a single bloom of that trad, which is called Sweet Kate.

Here is a NOID TBI. Nothing special, and I have a lot, so if anyone wants any, please D-mail me, and I will send for postage.

My Kolkwitzia (Beauty Bush) is blooming away.

I just love the flowers.

And it's so loaded with blossoms!

Can't get enough of them....

Dreamy!

Daisygirl, I don't remember now what thread it was where you posted the pic of your urn with the sedums and moss. I think it was Kassia's thread. Anyhow, I mentioned how I have a birdbath with moss growing at the base between the stones. My sister put the moss there, and it did really well. Here is a pic of the birdbath.

Thanks, Cousin Nut!

Here's a close shot of the moss with 2 Jack-in-the-Pulpits growing out of it.

Here's one in bloom.....

That Kolkwitzia is spectacular!

And a close-up of that with better focus...

Thanks, Dyane! I want to get the Dream Catcher one, which is variegated.

Here's a picture of Salvia nemorosa 'Caradona'.

Another shot of that....

Oops! Here it is!
