I finally have a bunch of stuff blooming! Most of them are dandelions, of course, but here are some of the "real" flowers. :)

Bellis - i never saw it last year but it turned up in a different spot this year. Garden gremlins?

Bergenia - its first blooms ever:

A bleeding heard and then a fern-leaf bleeding heart:

Daffodils - 'Joan of Arc':

Some more daffodils - the white one is 'Polar Ice' and i think the other is 'Sweetheart':

Peony 'Mollis' - first peony to bloom last year and this year, and it's only about 14" high:

Pulmonaria:

Solomon's Seal:

Sambucus 'Sutherland's Gold' - i love this tree!

Sort by:Oldest

Looks nice and lush there Marcia, you guys must be getting all the rain. Love those Joan of Arc Daffodils!

I'll join you later for this week once it stops raining here, however you don't know how much I've been begging for some decent rain. Today at moments it would just pour, I'm so happy and my newly planted trees should be happy too.

Thanks:) 'Pink Lipstick' huh? That sounds like that might be it!! If this is the one with dark pink flowers it must be. I'll google it after a bit. Maybe your strawberries would be happier growing with a ground cover like mine are doing? They (and my Iris)seem to love it so I'm letting them! It's also the only place I haven't been ripping out that awful Sedum. Sure it's a nice Sedum with pretty flowers and all, but it just shouldn't be planted in a mixed border/garden :O Thanks Karen, I love my Lavender plants and the ease of caring for them. All they need from me is a pruning a couple times a year; every other year or so a pretty hard one in spring to keep from getting woody centers. Next spring will have to whack the 'Vera' back because they are WAY large again and it was only the year before last they got it really good. They (the 4 plants) are 2 plants planted side by side (abt. 2' on center) and over the years they have basically grown into 2 shrubs. In flower (I just went and measured :)) they are 5.5' wide!

Oh, my, everyone's photos have me drooling (and adding to that wish list). Love this time of year - there are new blooms opening every day, it seems. Thrilled to finally have blooms on my peonies. A few were relocated from acreage we used to have and, what I think is Festiva Maxima, is blooming for the first time. It's a delight to come home at the end of the day to be greeted by the scents from the front garden: Iris (unknown variety) that just has a beautiful scent and the shrub roses (also unknown variety but the kind that have survived forever!), along with the peonies (F.M.) in the same bed! Morden Blush is just covered in blooms (please ignore the 'munched on' leaves!). This is not blooming yet, but can hardly wait until it does. This is 'Golden Unicorn' which was a substitute by Lindenberg in 2005's order. Wasn't happy with the substitution, but after counting 23 buds on one stem and 18 on another, I think I've changed my mind. Hopefully they all open. Margaret

Beautiful pictures! I am envious of how far ahead of me you guys are. Neither my fern leaf peony nor Alliums are blooming yet. Here are some that are blooming though: Assorted Darwin Tulips Bought as Double Flowering plum, but not really double, eh? Dwarf Garland Spirea Assorted Daffs King of Hearts Fern Leaf Bleeding heart Rose Glow Barberry just starting to bloom. I hope that the weather will soon warm up here, so I can have some more blooms! On the plus side, the cool weather has prolonged the bloom time of my tulips. Janet

Yay, garden gallery time! Looking good Marcia! I need a trollius too... Here are some of mine from the spring: Jacob's Ladder, Polemonium caeruleum Aquilegia flabellata, not a plant in a hurry. It was wintersowed 4 years ago, sprouted a year (!) later, finally decided to bloom. Primula cortusoides, and our chipmunk named Mr. Chippy, who lives in a hole in the front lawn: Tulip "Angelique" New striped and fringed tulips from Costco - and like everything from Costco they were enormous. ;0) Geum triflorum, also wintersown several years ago and just now flowering: Crabapple very seedy Columbines: Clematis alpina, variety unknown

I don't contribute often any more, but I thought I had to this week. This can help explain why I stay with you guys in the FAR north.

By the way, our local arborists explain that we are lucky there was a hard april freeze that delayed our trees from leafing out. Otherwise, there would have been major damage all over town, not just the east half. Also, only half the varieties of trees are fully leafed out, so a lot less limbs fell under SEVEN inches of snow June 10! I was on my way to work that day (the first day of special education summer school, no less!) so I didn't get many pics of trees and limbs and LIGHT POLES and POWER LINES in the roads.

My 10 foot plus maple and the neighbors 8 foot lilac bush- both standing again, thankfully.

My east side iris bed- the actually blooming iris stalks are under the snow.

The day before- June 9, with a forecast of half inch of rain, tops, and temps above freezing

Yes, it kept snowing until after 2 in the afternoon, and power was not restored to alot of places (including my school) until noo- that was fun 9 elementary special ed students in a class with no power!

Oh my, Well it got down to +3 this morning, but at least I don't have any of that. :O I don't know if things are going to get out of the greenhouse this year or not. Very heavy rain and hail yesterday.......my poor iris'.

Oh yuck, Vrie. We had one of those heavy wet snows last year at the very start of June. The damage was incredible. Our trees were fully leafed out, and I was woken up at 5:00 AM by the sound of branches snapping. I hope everything recovers well.

So far, my yard is doing well. I have to take pictures, but now it's 80 and breezy and would you believe- DRY! Oh the wonderful plains weather!
I actually have quite a lot blooming a week later, so I can't complain too much anymore. But I do wish something would normalize so I could plan for something!
