Lavender Blue Baby is always gorgeous!
I love Patchwork Puzzle's eye and how it is clearly defined too in the sepals.
Beautiful flowers!

Nice. MILK CHOCOLATE is a wonderful color, so unusual. I also like the almost green FROSTED MILK TWINS.

Vera, You're scaring me! :-) "Big Head" is definitely going to be cut for flowers or the point before it goes to seed...most definitely...and then, it's getting watched real closely for signs of "bully-ism". Tiffy, The big leafed plant with the purple edge is Coral Bells Purple Palace (at least I'm 90 % sure it is). I did WS Ligularia "Othello" last year, planted it out in the fall, but I don't see it at all this year. I'm not sure if it survived. I did two other types of Ligularia this year, one was "clivorum" rather than "dentata". That one has a little sprout and I'm nursing it carefully (and afraid to transplant it yet. I probably should just go for it and put it out-- but out of all the seeds in the packets for the two different varieties, I only have one seedling.) PV, The shade garden is just starting to do it's thing...the white Astilbes are just starting to come out. I figure the shade garden will be ready for a picture in a day or two. I'm thinking of getting some white Stargazer lillies to put there and move the pinkish/orange ones to the patio bed. What do you think? Drippy and Rosepedal, Thanks so much for the comments :-) I do like that Malva...it's one of the things I can depend on popping up and giving me something nice to look at while I wait for other things to bloom. I have Mystic Merlin seedlings, but I'm still trying to figure out where to put those. I don't want to put them close to the Zebrina because I had Zebrina before, and it seemed to meld into looking just like the Zebrina the following year. Funny how that happens. (I hope it warms up for you, Barb). Linda

Truely angelic is beautiful, and I don't know why I haven't gotten Siloam David Kirchhoff yet, its so pretty. I got Autumn Wood in a trade last year, I have one scape on it, but it hasen't bloomed yet. Can't wait to see it! I actually had some poly's this year too. I wonder why they do that? -Jessica

Oooohhh... beautiful - as always! I only got two blooms on my new replacement Mokan Butterfly... so it is so nice to see more blooms on yours! Violet Vibrations is really something... I just love those three zones of purple eye! I can tell my gardens were inspired by yours... Mokan Butterfly, check. Raining Violets, check. Party Pinafore, check! LOL. I really do love your choices of flowers. Thanks for posting all the lovelies.

Goodness, you sure have a nice variety of blooms!

I love your Ribbonnette. I love mine too, but had to move it from the edge of the woods to a sunnier location. It was leaning toward the sun too much, almost falling over.

Nefertiti was on my 2008 wish list, but for some reason, I didn't get it. Now, after seeing your photo, it must go on my 2009 list with an * next to it!

Thanks for sharing your beauties,

Julie

Lots of great dl's in this bunch. My Nefertiti didn't bloom for me this year. It was new last fall, in fact, I traded with it from someone on this forum but for the life of me, can't remember who. Might have been you. :)
Loved all your photos, and look forward to more from you.

What a nice group of flowers you posted. I too have Ribbonette, Nefertiti, and Lavender Blue Baby. Ribbonnette is one of my favorites because I like flowers with light edges.

I received Nefertiti in a trade last fall and I was so pleased that she bloomed this year:

Very nice! I like all of them, but love Neferiti and the Siloam Frosted Mint Twins as well. The white/green is doing it for me this year...maybe that means that I need to add more of those colors in my world!

You have some very pretty blooms!

Yes, Red MIttens is a mini. He's a cute little one. I just got him this year. In the morning sun he has some DD, too!

Nefertiti is awesome! I wish it had more scapes, but it is still gorgeous. One of my favs. Siloam Frosted Mint I got last Fall. Glad I did! I just glows.
