Flowers: A joy

The flower seeds I wrote about last time didn’t all pan out, another story for another day.

Here’s some pictures of those that did. Old faithfuls from last years garden first:

The knock-out rose

Not a knock-out, not sure what yet.

The gorgeous, overgrown yellow iris

Peach daylilies, will bloom anytime now — so tall!

Salvia

Hydrangea bush, a lone pink flower last year so pretty young plant

Peony

Rose of sharon, much bigger than last year

Phlox, a couple types. This will need its own post later — I was obsessed with phlox this time last year.

Bee balm

Coneflowers waiting to bloom, couple months to go

Clematis

Another clematis, with overgrown honeysuckle competing for space

Spirea

A lone asiatic lily

Stella d’oro daylily in the corner

Shasta daisies, also a few months to go

And now, the new additions planted this year.

Canna lilies, also seen in above picture

Gladiolus, awaiting clusters of pink blossoms

Hollyhocks, still babies.

Mandevilla:

Violas, bewitching colors.

Fuchsia, this plant is magical. Hope I can over-winter it safely.

Nasturtium, does not look happy on my deck.

Cosmos, super late start but I love the wispy leaves on this one. No pic yet!

Coreopsis, a recent transplant to the garden

And finally, the very common and the very beautiful petunia.
