And here is the start of my island bed in the front yard. It will hopefully just get better and better as summer progresses!
Beginning bloom of island bed in front yard. ;)
Beautiful start to the season....looks like that little bear has been workin' hard!
Really charming - a beautiful start!
I love it, Sherry! What variety of snapdragon is that? (pink plant, I think that's what it is...) I'm just starting to move some of my snaps out of the greenhouse.
toni5735, LOL yeah, Joey the bear is always out there with me, rain or shine! He was named by my Granddaughter. LOL
DonnaMack, thank you! :)
kosk0025, I think it's from a rocket mix six pack that I planted a couple years ago. It reseeds.
Thanks guys!
Same bed on 06-11-2012. First photo was 05-17-2012. Quite a few more things in bloom with more to come. :)

Oh, Sherry, it's glorious. I love the blues and pinks. And you have one of the few successful japanese maples I have seen. What a beautiful blend of colors and textures!

Gorgeous! A pleasure to look at. My astilbe aren't blooming yet. Maybe in about 2 weeks.
Lovely! Wonderful bed there, Sherry!
Thanks guys! It will change a lot throughout the season. Every year a little bit the same...a little bit different. :) I think I will keep posting here as it changes. A good way to have it in one place. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Those are beautiful shots. You are way ahead of us on the west side.
Sherrygirl, I absolutely love that iris, do you happen to know what it's called?
springcolor, thank you! Our weather has been cooler than normal so far. But I have to enjoy it because I know it won't last. It gets way too hot here!
mclowdis, it's supposed to be "Pass The Wine". I think that's correct. But I ordered from a co-op here and several of them were not named correctly! ;( I think this one is correct though.
Sherry
Love that name too, thank you!
The first shot is another shot of the bed on June 18th. More things starting to bloom. YEAH! Some yellow starting to appear now. The second shot is the other side of the island.
Sherry
Very beautiful!
