Allium Globemaster or Gladiator

That's what I thought, Celeste. Doesn't look quite right.

Azalea Northern Lights 'White Lights'

Tulip 'Deirdre'

Grampapa..... looking good. I love little jumpups!

Debilu.... I love that tulip picture!!

Dyane... You're right! that's definitely a carpet of azaleas! no doubt about it. I really like that Deirdre tulip too! I bet that the white lights smells nice.

Debilu---

(looks bare until the fence gets covered.)--That is soooooooo not bare! Pretty borders!

Beautiful shots, all!

Thanks everyone
Dyane, the rain drops are on a tulip. I also love that Sappho. Very pretty.

Really nice! Your yard loks great, Debi---Dyane---love all the flowers----my azaleas & iris are just budded. Grandpapa--that looks like Candytuft. I picked lilacs yesterday---the only one I can identify is the light-colored one---'Beauty of Moscow'

'Beauty' is actually pearl pink---it came out very white in the photo!

Lost the tag on this. Any ideas? Looks like a phlox, but the timing is strange.

Whole plant.

Columbine - I think Origami Blue & White.

Yellow.

Double Winky.

Ligularia Britt-Marie Crawford. Foliage is close to black.

Dwarf lilac - don't know the name.

Sea of white azalea.

Tulip.

Weigela My Monet.

Last for now - acorus in the pond.

Lovely picture Victor..... all of them great! The unknown is not a phlox. However, I'm no help because I can't think of what it's called. I love the blue columbine and the tulip!!

Thanks, Shelly. I did not really think it was a phlox. Pretty, whatever it is. I love true blues.

Another tulip - unknown.

Allium.

Victor - nice pics, I think that one is Amsonia?

Very good, Deb! I think you're right. I checked for shorter versions, since I would not plant the regular one there, and it does look like 'Blue Ice.' Thanks!

I have some, not sure which. Not in bloom yet though. It is very pretty.

Victor....is it maybe some sort of Plumbago? Plumbago auriculata maybe. I don't really know plumbago's all that well.

Victor--isn't there some kind of thread on Dave's where they post odd pics and members attempt to ID them? You should post your allium there!

Everyones pictures are great.
I had a surprise when I got back from Taking my paintings to the gallery for the show.
My 4 daughters gave me a mothers day gift
