Just Blooms


'Fourth of July' rose, possibly mislabled



***

Ninebark

Dianthus, smells like candy

Lonicera x 'Mandarin'

Chives. I'd grow these for the blooms alone.

Penstemon 'Husker Red', ready to open

Nepeta (Catmint), up-close

'Zaphirine Drouhin' rose

Asiatic lily 'Tiny Dino'

Unknown Iris. Possibly my favorite.

Penstemon 'Husker Red' now open

Heuchera (Coral Bells)

'Tiny Dino' again. So bright!

Pak Choi flowers. 

Penstemon 'Husker Red' again. I'm so surprised the deer
didn't prune all of the buds this year!

Tradescantia virginiana (spider lily). New to me.

Iceland poppy, new in the garden this year.

'Husker Red' again. So glad to have blooms, I couldn't stop taking photos.

I didn't include everything that's blooming. Some of that I covered in recent posts, like this one, or this one, or this one.


How is your garden blooming right now?

  1. May is sure a floriferous month! I wish it could last a little longer. Your blooms are looking good and your images of them are great! I especially like the Tradescantia shot!

  2. You take the most fantastic macro shots. Beautiful!

    Your post has inspired me. I'll do a "what's blooming" post on my blog very soon.

  3. All those flowers deserve their close-up shots. I really like the 9 bark. Not something I know. You seem to have weathered all that rough St Louis weather.

  4. Lovely blooms! I agree about the Dianthus, I have one tiny plant in a stock tank that I catch of whiff of every time I walk by...it's divine!

  6. What's this "blooming" you speak of? Our lilacs and crab apples just finished... No sign of the peonies yet. We're a good three to four weeks behind our normal blooming schedule.

    Your pictures are gorgeous as usual!
