I have one. Mukdenia. Here it is showing its fall colour.

I’ve got two...

Mexican Orange

Mock Orange

I hope you feel better soon GardenHo!

A few more.

north53 I ordered Mukdenia and was beyond ticked when it turned out to be Phlox p. Yours is terrific.

Jenn I adore Gold Bar, it is fabulous!

oursteelers those are sooo pretty.

Peren ...and they smell even better than they look! I just love fragrance in the garden!!!!!

Hope you're feeling better, GardenHo.

Mertensia virginica (Virginia bluebells); showy spring ephemeral.

sunnyborders I planted Mertensia v. last fall and was very happy to have finally got it in. It is such a wonderful plant.

Peren.all, how maddening to receive the wrong plant entirely.

I grew my mukdenia from seed purchased from the now no longer in existence Gardens North. I enjoyed that nursery as it offered unusual seed choices which were an economical way for me to try new perennials for my zone.

i have now purchased a mukgenia plant which is supposed to be a cross with bergenia. So far it has survived, but still very small.

I am loving all the miscanthus picture

Yes indeed north53 and I was so excited at the prospect of having it. It may have been your pic of it that inspired me, I had not been familiar with it.

I look forward to seeing how your cross does. I like both plants so a cross should be very nice. I looked it up and suppose it must (might) be 'Flame'

GardenHo, good to see you back! I hope you're feeling better every day. At least you got it over with before gardening season. Last year I got knocked down for two weeks with a bad cold.... in MAY! I was so mad at the timing.

So many pretty grasses. I can't bring myself to plant any because I battle so many grassy weeds, but I like seeing how pretty those big clumps can look, especially when they flower.

peren.all, I'm so taken with that photo of your Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet'. The lighting with the boulder, the trees, and all the pretty flowering plants. Beautiful!

Myosotis sylvatica (Forget-me-Not)

Muscari latifolia

Muscari 'Valerie Finnis' - really is powder blue

Monarda 'Jacob Cline' Hummers love these!

Monarda 'Grape Gumball'

Monarda 'Pink Lace'

....with a hummingbird moth

Another Monarda: 'Gardenview Scarlet'

Thanks sandyslopes! You have a lovely assortment of Monarda. I especially like Raspberry Ice with the pink tinge to the foliage.

Great pics of the hummingbird & hummingbird moth. Any plant that can support these wonderful creatures is beyond a bonus, a feast for the eyes and nature!

Thank you for the well wishes and all the beautiful pics!

I’m so tempted to try Monarda again..love it! Mine mildewed terribly.

I believe my only M is Muscari...

Sandy it’s so nice to see more of your gardens....they are lovely!!
