Heres what's in bloom around my yard today The foliage is Yarrow, the flowers are Coral Bells Coral Bells ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Columbine. This one is by the front door. The Coral Bells are right next to it and I think Im going to have to move them because they havent bloomed well the last few years. The Columbine is crowding them out I think... ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) These columbine grew from seed I tossed onto the soil 2 autumns ago. Last year they were all foliage, this year they bloomed When they first started to open, they appeared to be pale pink, but now theyre white ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Same deal as the light ones. I like these dark ones. ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Dwarf Korean Lilac ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Snapdragons already! This is from one that self-sowed last year I never bother pulling up annuals until Im sure theyre finished, so I dont have to bother sowing them myself lol ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Yet another shot of my 'President' Clematis ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Weigela ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) Variegated Weigela ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden ) *gasp* Could it be...? An Iris bud? At long last!? Ive had this iris 3 or 4 years and it hasnt bloomed once... ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden )
Looks like you are going to have an iris! What color? Lots of good looking flowers, I especially like the president Clematis. jerry
Wow. Nice pics. Almost look photoshopped Yes. A new passion for clematis. Can't understand why I am keen on growing passifloras, when I can always have these clematis...
You have a wonderful array of colours in your garden Jen. I think it's going to have been worth the wait when that iris blooms for you.
Very nice I am in love with that clematis...so vivid and clear, you have a nice variety in your garden.I find annuals are labour intensive and thirsty! But I like looking at those of others!
Hi Jen, a lovely collection of blooms and of course the changing colours of the Columbine always surprises us.
Don't you just love columbines? After this iris blooms you will be hooked!!! I know I was, all it took was one and then...
So beautiful. I really enjoy seeing all your flowers. Helps me learn about these flowers that I can keep in my yard. Barb in Pa.
Thanks all I actually cant quite remember what color the iris is going to be...I think the lower petals will be either black or purple...Hopefully Ill find out soon lol Ive been trying to find another clematis to plant with the President. I had a Comtesse De Bouchard but she died They looked so pretty together. I dont know if I want a red, a pink, a white...maybe I should make a spot where I can put all of them together My Moonshine Yarrow is getting ready to bloom soon, and Im getting little flowers on my bramble berries (black and raspberries) I potted up some volunteers today so I can have more and give some away
