I knew your yard would be beautiful, and it surely is. so many lovely blooms. Thanks for the great pics.

Shelly are your pics nite time flash shots - love the way you isolated each subject.

Eglantyne - Beautiful! Love the name Dame's Rocket - so evocative of much earlier times. Do you know the formal name? I have it everywhere and have been calling it Phlox Something-or-other. - Julie

JulieKane - Hesperis matronalis I believe or something to that affect.....

Crazy Daisy - first blooms from seeds started this winter.

blooms, all I did was point and shoot. I did hold my finger over the flash if the flower wasnt true to color because of the flash.

I sure am enjoying everyones beautiful flowers. Thanks for starting this thread langbr.

langbr - Yes, I found that, too. I was glad to read on another site that it is often confused with Phlox Paniculata! LOL - Julie

Nectar of the Gods... to the butterflies

monarda and something I have not identified as of yet, i think it may spread by seed. this is from last year i moved this whole garden to the backyard and nothing has bloomed yet.

Bev, I love the way you lay out your beds--such a nice combination of textures and plants.
It's fascinating to see the range of plants available to us.

SsFlwers - is that gooseneck loosestrife with the monarda? It has a fanciful look.

I think you are right Blooms, PDB describes it exactly. It really can take over the garden. tried pulling it up for my herb garden and it is coming up through the herbs and even my deck!
This is about the only "bloom" that my fennel gets, I thought i would post this for now because i cannot seem to be able to get the new flower pics off the camera. Also, I know there is a way to put more than one pic on a posting but i cannot figure it out. Anyone know how?

This is hollyhock that I planted last year, it has become monsterous!

This is actually a weed!! I shot this to make into a black and white, came out terrific. I loved the texture.

OK.. sorry to get off topic.

Planted in April, Arts Pride Meadowbrite. It is really blooming now, and we are having a pretty bad dry spell. This has been my favorite this year. I planted it with hosta and sedum, even better than my usual coneflowers for xeriscaping.

My McKana Giant (columbine)

My Meadow Sage

My favorite Dianthus, which I'm not sure the name of it (if someone knows, please do tell). It's not that big this year, as I'd moved it.

My Sweet Williams

my confused Sweet Williams

Karrie - can you post a closer pic of the flowers on the dianthus?

This is about as close as I can get without it blurring out on me (this digital is old)

This is an Asiatic Lily Agrippa. I love the deep pink color.

Puddles

Well I thought they looked alot like my 'Ideal Deep Violet' but see they are lighter in the center where mine are lighter on the edges. I'll keep my eyes open for something similar to yours.

P of M- that is a fabulous color!!! And as everyone knows Lilies are my passion!

Here's some beautiful yellow Asiatic.

Here's one of my favorites. Zebrina Hollyhock. They bloomed all the way past Thanksgiving last year.

Another lily

And another

And another.

Incredible photos everyone! This is really opening my eyes to new possibilities in my gardens.
How about Beebalm?
