Blooms around mid-summer

We've got some blooms braving the cold, wet spell. The Aquilegia are flat out, not a happy sight:



Primula:





Anemone obtusiloba:



Poppy "Perry's White":



The Deutzia:



Creeping Dianthus:



The Mertensia:



A bit of nice colour here:



The red Weigelia bush:



Meconopsis "Henson's Violet" is still going strong:



Got daylilies, the old, yellow ones are the earliest:



Martagon lilies are starting too:



Not much I'm afraid. I hope there will be more colour next week.

 

You still have a lot of color despite the cool wet weather Droopy. I like the color of your Anemone and I don't think I've ever seen a white Poppy.

 

Those flowers are just terrific. They seem to be doing quite well actually in spite of all the rain.
The Martagon Lilies are making an impressive start.
The foto with the landscape featuring the Mertensia and what looks like Dianthus is really pretty and shows alot of forethought.
All the rest were really nice to see as well. It's impressive how well your flowers and planting seem to give off an air of professionalism sometimes. You have apparently got a real knack for composition.

 

Wonderful plants Droopy, thanks for sharing them.

 

very beatiful colors. I like your 'a bit of nice color' picture. I think dianthuses are becoming my fav. flower. Thanks for sharing these with us.

 

Thanks all for kind comments. I was a bit worried this spring because everything came out so early, but it seems I needn't worry at all. The later blooms are all back to schedule now.

 

I love your blooms. I wish I had more shady spots to grow delicate flowers like the Aquilegia. I'm just amazed that you grow so many of the plants we do up there in Norway. Your garden must be a wonderland.

Thanks Gardengater, but at the moment our yard is more like a nightmare! The Aquilegia are very hardy, and do well all over this country. The same with poppies and lots of other plants. It just goes to show that plants are incredibly resilient and are able to adapt to different environments. I'm really lucky too, since we're in USDA zone 7 we've got lots to choose from.
