So many gorgeous pics. So wet here lately. Still so far behind and now there are weeds that sprung up in the past few days that are over five feet tall!
Gaillardia - Tokajer, I think.
Meredith - great blooms! I like the coral, even if it is not.
Mophead hydrangea - must be slightly more alkaline in this spot.
Cornus Satomi.
Hydrangea Annabelle. This is the most impressive it has ever been. And guess what - I did not cut it back at all this year. It was pretty late and the new growth had started so I just clipped the dead ends and wanted to see the result.
Julia Correvon.
Last for now - Asiatic.
Those are all so pretty Victor. You're right, that Annabelle is very impressive! so is Satomi.
Thanks Shelly. Just got Incrediball and Invincibelle - small ones. Looking forward to seeing them.
Julia Correvon is stunning!
Iris 'Rare Treat' with the Yellow Lupine starting to open.
Love the different shades of yellow in it.
I've never heard of those two, but I bet that they're nice. Are they dwarfs? that would be helpful!
First clem bloom, 'Niobe'.
Co-op Iris...I think its "Can Can'
Love the baby blue beard inside this one.
Beautiful color on that lupine, Celeste. Love the baby blue, of course!
I think the two hydrangeas get about the same size as Annabelle, Shelly. (Or Shelly, Annabelle!)
The only Jap. Iris that bloomed for me. I purchased 10, 7 came back, this is the only one to bloom...AND I can NOT find the plant tag...lol.
I planted about 6-7 "new to me" Alliums this year. Here is one of the "oddities," Hair:
I don't know about anyone else, but this weather has done a number on my roses. I don't have a huge collection, but all of them are pretty much flopped over and petals are everywhere. On top of this wet and sorta muggy weather, the Aphids are going bananas and the weeds are having a sock hop in the new bed...grrrrrr....
Here is the best pic I could take of a new rose for me, I planted it last year, it's Origold:
For all of you Clemheads out there, here is my box store no name generic clem that is going gang busters this year!
The other "oddball" Allium for me this year was Schubertii. I couldn't get the pic just right, I tried and tried...but this thing is around a foot tall, give or take, but some of the outside florets are abut a foot out! It probably is about as round as a soccer ball, if not a little bit bigger.
No clue on this Kalmia...I think, this is a stretch, due to the condition I purchased it under, and the fact that I never thought I'd see it bloom, I never really paid much attention to it...but I think Olympic, or Olympia...something like that was in the cultivar name...not sure though.
And lastly, and don't be jealous :-) This is one of the L. Martagon's that I got as a bday gift about 3 years ago (give or take)...I was given 3, and this year 5 stalks have come up!
Great JI, Thom! Love the clem too. Maybe Abundance?
Here is Venosa Violacea.
Forgot the name of this yarrow.
NOID rose.
Geranium Rozanne with gold barberry.
Forgot which Euphorbia.
Last - Penstemon Mystica.
I'm still trying to catch up on my weeds from all this rain!
Lol... thanks Victor.
Pixie...Beauties!!
Thom.... I love the oddball Allium.
Victor... very pretty forgot me yarrow!
love that Julia Correvon Victor
Pixie those yellow lupines are stunning!!
Hem your big box store clem is very nice
Victor I would not have known that was a yarrow from that close up... good job!
Thanks!

Lace cap hydrangea.
Last - Spirea Little Princess.
