Oh EJ your flowers are lovely. I especially like he second piccie. Isn't it great when everything bursts into bloom?
The second one is my rosemary Eileen. I grew it from seed 2 years ago and have it growing through some trellis on our deck. It smells great!
What a lovely group of flowers, EJ. It is looking like summer already there. We here are 2-3 weeks behind you, I gestimate. I'm enjoying scrolling up and down, looking and looking. Thanks for showing these pretty bursts of colour.
Beautiful blooms EJ. I don't recognize the first one but it is gorgeous. I like your close up of the Ajuga bloom. I try to take them but my camera just won't focus on the bloom! Is that last one a Columbine? I've never seen one with such a deep color. It's gorgeous!
I love your picts. didn't realize the 2nd was rosemary. Could you please put names with these as maybe some of us (or me) don't them all. I know the bleeding heart. What is the spotted fist flower-its differant. Don't know that I've seen a spotted flower. Thanks for posting.
I like them all EJ but the first second and the Bleeding Hearts and the last one are my favorites.Just wonderful colors.
You've got lovely flowers! I especially like your columbine and the rosemary blooms, but the other ones are lovely too.
Sorry, I should have put the names. Pic 1 is a saxifrage which grows from lovely rosettes along a gravel bed. The flowers are actually teeny tiny. Pic 2 is indeed a rosemary I have growing through some trellis. It will be put to good use tonight as Mark and I have lamb chops to go on the barby and a few rosemary sprigs go onto the coals towards the end of cooking. Pic 3 and 4 are both annual poppies which spring up all over my garden and I leave them to it. I love them, especially when they come up between the paving slabs on our patio. Pic 5 is a geranium, only just coming into flower. I don't have many other varieties of this plant....but I am slowely changing that. Pic 6 is indeed the bleeding heart, or dicentra. I used to have a white one also, but it has vanished! Pic 7 is the bloom on my angelica. This plant grows to about 6 foot tall when in full bloom and my mum candies the young stems to use in our Christmas cakes. Pic 8 is the Ajuga, or bugle. I have it all over the garden as it quietly spreads when nobody is looking. I don't mind as if it encroaches where I don't want it, I just oik it out. It is a lovely ground cover at this time of year. And the last pic is an Aquilegia or collumbine. It is a double and I have no idea where it came from. Every year I save the seeds and sprinkle them around by they don't seem to germinate. This year I am going to save some and sow them in trays to see if that gets me more. I have the singles in whites, pinks and purples, but this one is so dreamy I would love a huge drift of them. Thanks for all of the kind words about my flowers. We spent all day in the garden today and it has been just lovely. So many things are in bud, I just can't wait!
