    Oh Netty! You have all of my favorites! I was considering a mock orange earlier this year... and your peonies!!! For some reason, dianthus always makes me happy. Congrats on that wisteria! They are beautiful!

    Pretty pretty pretty :p I love that peony. My red ones are open but all the others are still closed up tight! I'd love to have a wisteria! Mom has a purple one that I've tried for years to get starts off but have never succeeded :rolleyes:

    Beautiful fotos here. Your Philadelphus looks like my first one to bloom. Yours is so big and lovely. Well done with all your blooms so far this year.

    You have such vibrant pinks in your garden that I am totally jealous. WHen I started looking at the post I thought that this is want should be in a pink garden.

    These days the white garden trend seems to be taking on well in our area and between us stewbies - I was beginning to miss colour.

    That Fuschia is just gorgous.
    Your garden is beautiful. :stew1:

    Netty your blooms are beautiful. My wisteria bloomed for the first time this year too, I planted it 5 years ago.

    Thank you everyone for the comments. I love pink in the garden! I think most of my gardens are pink, white and blue with a little splash of yellow. Well, until autumn that is when the grand finale is mostly yellow. I guess it is quite evident in all my posts with photos that I love pink :D
