Today was catch up day so here are a couple that have been blooming over the last several days.

SOMETHING MARVELOUS - new this spring and just started blooming. Another one I had to replace since the first one I got from a LA seller looked like it would keel over. I like the yellow-lime green edge it has. Very different.

Now for the imposter in my garden. Was sent to me two years ago as FRANS HALS. Didn't bloom till this year but I did notice over the winter that the foliage did not die all the way back like a FRANS HALS would as a dormant. If you think you know what it is, let me know. In the meantime it goes to the bed of UNKNOWNS.

This is the real FRANS HALS. Thanks to Rick on this forum who sent this to me last year. Gee, I do believe Rick likes to enable. This planting did die back and definitely is FRANS HALS.

This is my UNKNOWN CREAM SEEDLING. Open perfectly each time. Sometimes the blooms are more white in color and other times it has a tint of pink-orange to it.

And just for fun how about some Coneflowers and a Butterfly in flight. I was actually trying to take a pic of the butterfly while it was on the Butterfly bush but he took off as I was snapping the pic.
