I've got some pink plants ... we'll start with shrubs ...

Mountain Laurels:

Beauty Bush:

Sweet Pepperbush:

Adding in the Quince:

(Stake was part of edge planning ... it's gone now.)

I also got rid of my duplicate post ...

So nice to see pink this time of year !

Here's a couple, I'll try to learn how to post them smaller next time :)

ETA... Oh, they turned smaller automatically upon hitting submit

There does seem to be an awful lot of shades of pink eh?

Yup, hard to determine what is or isn't ink. I actively excluded what I thought was red, fuchsia, or purple but then there is rose pink, salmon etc.

I'm back with my pink houseplants ...

African Violet:

The one above is on the right ... I don't have a picture on here of the left one by itself:

Echeveria (only accented with pink, but I'm counting it ...):

Some perennials:

Columbine:

Daylily:

Epimedium (I think thisis 'Cherry Tart' with 'Pink Star' in the top left corner, but I might have that backwards ...):

Peony:

Yarrow:

(The sedum turns pink eventually, too ... though I can't seem to find a picture of it ...)

How fun! Gladiolus, Echinacea, Rose of Sharon, hollyhocks!

And a few more, Rugosa rose, Double Petunia, water lily, peony

Lots of great pictures .... but a little heavy on the herbaceous side, so here's a few more woodies.

First Blush Cherry (4/21/21)

Kern's Pink Viburnum, just a "blush" of pink (5/25/21)

Fort McNair Horsechestnut (5/27/21)

A few pink daylilies

Love those Mountain Laurels.

Some on our hikes from last spring.

in my backyard

pink on the outside, red and white on the inside

the other one is red as a fire engine

Florist azalea I picked up from Walmart

Pink Ruffles and George Tabor azaleas in April last year.

All My Loving rose

Also, have to say that mountain-laurel is really neat. Certainly don’t have those where I’m from

A few more pinks:

Really enjoying the color threads, thanks Ken.

Milkweed

Here are more pinks in my garden:

do the berries on my doublefile viburnum qualify as pink?..I think they're beautiful..

was hoping gardengal would tell us when she banned pink and why..of course we respect her personal choice!..

wonder if she would she allow my viburnum in her garden?..or would the berries rule it out?..

fyi..I don't love every shade of pink..I haven't banned any colors but there are plants that I don't enjoy..and will never plant again..it's the same simple reasoning..use only your favorites..

Taken me almost two hours to find and post these! I don't have many pink flowers because all of my hydrangeas turn blue in our soil. Here are a few pinks that I could find.

sedum

fuchsia

and cyclamen

John Cabot Rose from 2021:

Pink Power!

woody the removal of that tree will certainly alter your yard considerably. Is it having difficulty or just getting too large?

Omg I'm loving all these pinks!

Feiy Lo what is that gorgeous rose in the first photo? So delicately beautiful! You also reminded me I have some photos of Lyda Rose, which I believe is one of the roses you posted as well.

However, upon further thought, I decided not to post them as since they're not nearly as full and prolific as yours lol. So instead, here's some lovely pink viburnum berries from a fairly new Winterthur

:)

@diggerdee zone 6 CT You're right, the 6th photo is lovely Lyda which is one of my favorite single roses. The 1st rose is Secret. It's my top one HT because it's healthy and shade tolerant with strong fragrance. Because of a giant walnut tree, my whole backyard area is pretty shady. I'm so glad to grab it in a local nursery given that it's so difficult to find in commerce. It shows the delicate pink rim around the petals in lower sunlight and becomes pinker in more sun. This is what it looked like in hot summer.

Feiy Lo, thanks for that info. I actually think I like the coloring more in the lower sunlight! I have a lot of shade so I'm always on the lookout for plants - and in particular things that are usually sun-worshippers, like roses - that do well in, if not shade, at least less sun lol. And I mean really do well, in real-life gardens, with reviews from people who grow them, not just going by descriptions in catalogs. I'll have to look into this one, thanks!

And just to stay on topic, lol, here's a few more pics.

A strawflower (Silvery Rose) this past summer that just refused to die despite my neglect lol. This thing bloomed well into December here!

Rose - either Ashley or Amelia. This plant was doing great till one day it suddenly looked wilted. My heart sank as I walked over to it and sure enough I was able to lift the entire shrub up with two fingers. Voles! Curse them! I threw the shrub in a pot on my patio and it survived; now I have to find another spot for it and also figure out how to deal with those darn voles!

Hydrangea

Reseeded ammi I always let my ammi go to seed and I think the Dara I planted last year mixed with the white because this year I got all kinds of cool white+red=pink variations!

:)

Dee

Camellia japonica

My new hydrangea. Really hoping it survives the winter!

Chelone, the last to bloom

@woodyoak I'm loving that soft pink with the darker pink centers! Do you recall what particular hibiscus that is?

@gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9) No pink at all?? I'm so curious to see your garden if you wouldn't mind.

@katemartha (z5/6 nj) That hollyhock pic is magical. Is your rugosa fragrant? Thank you for including the names.

@rouge21_gw (CDN Z5b/6a) Wow that is such a gorgeous intense pink rose photo.

@Feiy (PNWZ8b/9a) Please, please tell me what those pink roses are, especially this one:

@gardenpeace thank you! And yes, the rugosa is actually quite fragrant, I adore the scent!

Also, gardenpeace, if you don’t mind my asking - how did you tag a username in your comment like that? Trying to learn! :) thanks!

@katemartha (z5/6 nj) Do you know which rugosa it is? Is it possible for your to describe the scent? I ordered a rugosa for spring named hansa. It will be my first rugosa rose. It's supposed to be fragrant and somewhat shade tolerant and have cheerful rosehips when flowering is done. Do you grow a lot of roses? I'd love to see more photos of your garden. We live in a similar USDA zone too.

If I understand what you are asking about tagging, I think just by putting the at "@ " sign before the Houzz name sends a notification to the person mentioned.

katemartha (z5/6 nj) to tag and have it highlighted in green you need to copy & paste as far as I know. If I put an @ in front it just shows @katemartha (z5/6 nj).

@gardenpeace - the Rugosa was already established when I moved into my current home, so I can’t be certain which variety it is, but I believe it to be either Hansa or Roseraie de L’Hey, as it’s currently about 6’ x 6’ with large ~3-4” blooms of a deep magenta color. RDLH is described as having a clove-like fragrance, but I’m not sure they I have ever tried to discern fragrances between roses before! To me, it just has a very heady rose-like fragrance, haha.

I am a rose newbie - last year I planted a bunch of David austin roses - 5 la ville de bruxelles, 1 malvern hills, and 2 lady of the lake. This year I’ll be adding a few more that will fare better in my zone, but am still working out which!

@Gardenpeace I love Rugosas. I have Hansa, Blanc Double de Coubert, and Therese Bugnet. They're all very fragrant!

And here are the names of roses in order:

Secret

Mutabilis

Pam's Choice

Jeanne Lajoie

noID Hybrid perpetual

Lyda Rose

Pomponella

peren.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada Thank you! Couldn't quite figure it out on the mobile app, but seems to work well on the desktop site. Thanks for the tip!

Lewisia

Dahlia ”electric flash“

Asiatic lilly “tiny rocket” (I think)

Bleeding hearts

Spirea ”neon flash”

Dianthus ”rockstar“

My favorite pink daylilies: Lee Reinke, Pink Peppermint. I don't ban any colors in my garden.

bump.. anything new this season?

'Aloha' Rose

Pale pink of 'New Dawn' rose

'Beverly' Rose

Ditto

Kolkwitzia

'Jan Bos' Hyacinth earlier in the season...

Phlox ”Opening Act Ultrapink” has started to bloom! I wasn’t so sure about this plant when I first purchased it, as its flowers are a bit more delicate than traditional phlox, but it just keeps going and going in my garden, and was still blooming in late October last year.

This pink cymbidium has just opened. If only I could post its incredible fragrance!

Unidentified tree peony.

Hardy Fuchsia Mrs W P Wod

Cyclamen hederifolium

Love all the new pictures of pink flowers!

Penstemon Sweet Joann was in many nurseries for a few years, but I have not seen it recently. it has been a good bloomer in my garden and has been carefree except that the voles ate one.

Unknown rose that is common at many old farm houses, including mine, in my part of NH.

This clematis, Giselle I believe, isn’t quite pink or quite lavendar but depends on the light and age of blossom like some other clematis.

Hi. I’ve been lurking this garden forum for ages but haven't posted. Thanks to everyone who regularly posts info & tips - I’m a new gardener (just 2 years in) with all new garden beds created spring/summer 2021 and I’ve learned a lot here (Ken, you always have such great advice!).

A lot of these are turning over - the salvia are long past due for dead-heading / a chop back but I thought I’d post pics anyway. I’m proud of a lot of these seeing as it‘s only their second growing season and I’m such a newbie. I def have acquired the gardening bug (for better or for worse)!

Tracy, zone 6a Greater Toronto Area, photos from late June 2022

Centennial Morden Rose - just one year of growth and no winter protection beyond mulch - she’s a beast! Nothing fancy, just a Home Depot special purchase. I haven't even fertilized (just gave her one dose of chelated iron in spring as I saw issues with some leaves). I'm really happy with her.

Pink Parfait Iris - almost done blooming. Last few pretties to enjoy. Proudberry Coral Berry behind so I’ll get those awesome little pink berries soon enough.

Magenta pink yarrow - I think she’s called Saucy Seduction. Another beast (I need to rig up some staking - I know some people like when everything blends but I prefer a bit more separation).

The newly released Opalessence series Phlox, just planted last week in a new bed extension.

Lilac Lipstick salvia desparately overdue for a haircut. Yes, its lavender but it reads as pink, at least to my eye earlier in its bloom cycle.

The final three are a stretch as ”pink” but I'm so happy w/ them, I want to share:

Heuchera (coral bells) - either pink panther or wild rose. I planted both and the tag has blown away :-(

Primo series Black Pearl heuchera - I love the bloom stalks on this variety. I know some gardeners clip them but these ones are lovely - tall, sturdy & a sweet pink tinge to the blooms.

I love planting allium but these are my first Schubertii!

Thanks everyone & happy growing!

Not sure all are "pink."
