Crystalline Butterfly does have pretty colors! Dearest Valentine looks good, but I bet it takes a long time to open in these cooler mornings.

I like your AUTUMN WOOD photos! AUTUMN WOOD is very temperature sensitive. After cooler nights, you get the lighter color blend. After warmer nights, you get less of the blend and more of the melon looking color. My scapes were shorter this year and I had fewer blooms than the past five years. Mine has been hurt by the drought, neighbor's trees stealing its sun, and the fact it needs to be divided. The first three years I had it, AW was one of my Top 10 performers. I'm hoping it will really strut its stuff next year after being divided and moved to full sun. Debra

Rainy day vignettes and a few new ones

Very nice vignettes. Thanks for posting them. "Weeping White Spruce" Now, if this were the Conifer Forum (lol), that would be Picea glauca 'Pendula'. Which, by the way, may need to be set free if it's tied as tightly as it looks to that stake. tj

Jeanne, your table is just lovely! The centerpiece is perfect, simple but so eye-catching. And you know that I love the addition of all the white bunnies (and tea pot). I am a firm believer that bunnies go with any and all holidays. LOL. Probably cause my house is overrun with the non-real kind. And none of those in the yard causing mischief, thanks to my life as a city dweller. Sorry I'm late to all the Memorial celebrations. And I never did get out my decor either. I'm going to give myself one more chance...4th of July...and if it stays packed again this year (be two in a row), then it will have to go. New rule I'm trying to enforce, stuff can NOT stay packed several years without seeing the light of day. I need to let someone else enjoy it if I can't. Anyway, I definitely enjoyed seeing your pretty things and am so glad you decorated for "us" here. ;o) hugs, Karen

An update. The vast majority of the garlic mustard is gone...what a job that was! My DH even began to help me, it was that bad. A photo of the plant that looked like lamb's ear or rose campion. The grey colour doesn't seem to be as predominant. Aconitum (Monkshood) I don't think this is Trollius because there aren't any buds. Centaurea montana next to a poppy. The 'oregano plant' One small bed before and after photo. There are six beds this size and a large bed about 20' wide by 40' long, plus about 15 shrubs in their own beds and all of these beds were overgrown with garlic mustard. You can see one edge of the large bed in the photo below and a few of the shrubs in the background.

PINK TARANTULA looks fantastic as usual. There is just a lot going on with that bloom (form, starburst throat, and the many shades of pink). Thanks for posting so many pictures of this one. My season can't get started soon enough. I have scapes just starting to show up.

Glad so many of your new ones are blooming! PT continues to show out! Dearest Valentine has not opened well for me-too much rain, too much heavy dew. Thanks for posting a picture of my plant!!

Thank you. You are right, Debra, but the color was lovely. Every bloom on Crystalline Butterfly has been perfect and I really like that so far, all of the spider or unusual forms that I have gotten from the Ridders are nice and tall.

David, I have probably worn everyone out posting Pink Tarantula, but you will understand when it starts blooming in your garden. I am so glad I got that one as it was my first Ridde and I knew I wanted more . I have Pink Flamingo Leggins which is a child of Pink Flaming and also Flamingo Heartstrings which I just received a few days ago. It is also from Pink Tarantula.

Kate there were so many FFOs THAT I didn't even post most of them. Your Black Mingo has beautiful contrast; The dark is a very dark wine color, and the light is actually a very nice very white color. And you are very welcome.

Thanks you, Brad. Those are all favorites.
