We always had peonies in the back yard while we were growing up. After they were done blooming Mom would mow right over them and every year they'd come back. Two years ago she was no longer interested in keeping the one remaining bush and let me dig it out. I divided it into three and last year got just one bloom. I'm thrilled that all three have bloomed this year.
This one is near the back door where I walk by several times daily.
This one is not as happy looking but still blooming.
The third one only has one bloom so far. The foxglove in front just started blooming yesterday. The foxglove I found growing at the edge of the woods and moved to the garden.
BJ and Angie decided they wanted to rip out everything the previous owner had planted along their front porch and start from scratch. So of course I helped myself. I was quite surprised by this bloom yesterday.
The columbine that Country Girl gave me last year is still full of blooms.
I'm loving this little patch of salvia, tickseed and dianthus right now.
Delphinium started from seed last year.
A huge patch of daisies. Another gift from Country Girl.
Blanket flower started from seed last year. I moved this to the new bed at the back of the house and now every bloom is facing towards the house.
St. John's wort shrub. I just bought this last weekend. It's supposed to get 5' tall and wide, covered with this little flowers.
Also blooming:
Iris
Bleeding heart
Pincushion flower
Fushia
Stella D'oro lilies
Lupine
