There is still a lot of color in the garden although not en masse when peak is in force.

Brutus-an oldie that blooms late-as in now-huge clump with lots of blooms

Creature of the Night-better blooms than the last one

August Wedding-FFE-I just always like the looks of this one

Laura Harwood-just gorgeous in full bloom

Lake Champagne-last flower open-rarely has a good clean bloom for me

Lavender Stardust-late evening colors

Pink Jeans-again-because I love this color

Yazoo Elsie Hinton with interloper-a real oldie-huge monster blooms

Green Eyes Wink-not a big fan of small ones but saw this in full bloom in a garden years ago and bought it. Blooms late

Debra’s seedling

perhaps more in comments

Boy Crazy

Lake Tear of the Clouds-much better color in the am

Margo Reed Indeed-had this one several years-always blooms short-as you can probably tell

You really have many pretty ones in this batch. Yazoo Elsie Hinton has such a wonderful shape. In the picture it looks like she's trumpet shaped with soft ruffles all along the edge. Wonderful shot of her..........Lavender Stardust is another sweet one. Everyone that grows it likes it. I may need to add it one day..........Creature of the Night still intriques me. Our wind just beat the heck out of my daylilies yesterday that had tall reedy stems. I need to follow my heart on UF's I guess.........Maryl

Ben - no, HK is in the tropics (just) and the summers are hot and humid, while the winters are sometimes coldish, but never down to freezing - 10 degrees or so (Celsius) minimum. Donna - the sonatinis are new to me. I have another called Marrakech, which produced leaves but no flowers. Yes, it's nice to sit on the rooftop in April and enjoy the blooms, and I can't resist the temptation to pollinate more and more, even though I have no more space to plant any. So this year's pods are a bit redundant and I should give some away if anyone wants them, especially the deep red crosses which produce seed so well. I'll open another thread and offer some around.

Bonibrae Happy Face and My Friend Mary Jane are both too new to know how they will perform. Bonibrae Happy Face hung up the first two times it opened but the next two times it opened perfectly. My Friend Mary Jane just was planted this spring.

Yes, Bill, it's a mystery why some p*lants grow and some don't. I think that it is just so much more complicated then we can see, how plants thrive. Yet it appears to us that p*lants grow so simply. Quite the conundrum. That is very interesting about your lilac. I never had anything growing under it, so maybe I will try that some time. Claire, I am putting Thalia on my list for the fall. I think I am going overboard on daffodils lately. [g] They look so small when you first plant them, but they really fill out into large patches after a few years. I moved a patch into an area with not enough sun in the fall and it had no blooms at all on it this spring. So I think I am running out of enough sun. The Haweras are very cute and not so much dying foliage to put up with either. I did see the plant support and wondered if you had it in place for something that hasn't grown yet. [g] That Dicentra GoldHeart really catches my eye every time I see it. Really stands out. Wow, when that gets full grown! I really like Pieris and I hope I can keep them going in my g*arden. I fear I am too dry for them, but I water a lot, so maybe.

Guess I wasn't paying attention back in January!! Wish I hadn't miss this, but I'm glad it got bumped. Beautiful! I just posted my refresh too....nice to see another kitchen with a good starting point!! The soapstone gives it such a warm feel. I know you're loving it!

Beautiful flowers! My favorite today is Creature of the Night, so distinct. Laura Harwood clump is indeed gorgeous. I really like the pairing of yellow Yazoo Elsie Hilton with the purple. Debra's seedling is very pretty. Oh too bad about the shortness of Margo Reed Indeed as it is beautiful (I love white dls)

Brutus and Laura Harwood clumps are spectacular! I love Creature of the Night when it gets that dark! My seedling looks very happy in your garden. You really have a lot blooming late. Margo Reed Indeed always blooms short for me too - but not quite that short.

Brutus and Laura Harwood are both showing out splendidly today! Yazoo Elsie Hinton looks large and is lovely. Lavender Stardust is a pretty thing and Night Creature may grow on me. Nice post, Kate.

Kate, my observations are the same as I read above. Creature of the Night is my favorite, so deep and mysterious looking.

Creature of the Night looks so very dark. I like August Wedding here too, it always blooms well, reblooms and opens well. I wish it were taller. I am so surprised that you and Debra both have short blooms on Margo! I need to measure, I think it is taller than registered here, and always has been. It grows in a bit of shade, maybe it has to reach for the sun? Gets enough sun it has plenty of buds though, but you can see it does lean away from the tree. Love Boy Crazy, and your Laura looks wonderful too.
