a suprise!

Category: stuff in bloom | Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 4:11 pm

things are really starting to crank in the garden. i had wanted to use my brother's new digital camera, but it seems everytime i connect it to my computer, my computer decides to give me a hard time about using it again,(it is old, and am working on a new one)so, back to the 35mm for a while.
i swear, sometimes things happen overnight! the baptisia is just about in full bloom, one of my clematis is flowering, the peonies opened all of a sudden as well. the weigelia is absolutely loaded with flowers this year (i even got a glimpse of a hummingbird visiting it! maybe she'll tell her friends about it)
a few years ago, my friend on the west coast sent me a bunch of seeds..lunaria, cleome, lupine and i mixed them with my cosmos, bachelor buttons and planted along the fence on the alley side of my yard.
i usually have good luck with the annuals, but don't have many perennials on that side of the fence with the exception of the black eyed susans. last year i noticed a lupine had taken and i am almost certain it had a blue/purple & white flower on it. i looked at it this year and was kind of shocked to see that the flower is pink & white! what a nice suprise. i also noticed that somehow a daisy had made it's way there as well. i'm always happy for volunteers.
speaking of daisies...the ones i transplanted are limping along...and i am confident they'll do fine in their new home.
i found 2 forget-me-not plants at the market on the dollar table.....they were so cute, and were perfect for the front bed. i planted 4 foxgloves last year, 2 made it through the winter, and i can't wait for them to flower. my toad lilies are really growing this year, and i hope i don't have to wait until september for them to bloom like i did last year. they were so tiny i almost didn't see them!

i love this time of year, when everything is blooming or starting to bloom.
