Please excuse the quality of the images, it has been an awful wet mess and it’s a wonder any blooms aren’t flopped over in all this rain. But wanted to share a few things today. This purple/blue Salvia is on my patio table. I love looking at this from the kitchen.
Alta California, and heirloom iris. This one is getting hard to find, but luckily I have one. It is a good parent plant the breeders say, it has many famous offspring.
Ruffled Goddess… a newer hybrid. It is a very bright lavender/blue. Very pleased with this one, may have to move it to a better spot so it can be seen easier. It is at the back of the butterfly hill.
Old fashioned hearty geranium is just started to open up.
I have these tucked in several places, I love them. I have several that rebloom, but this one doesn’t.
My first clematis blooms of the season. This is “Snow Queen” and she is an early bloomer. It was very overcast when I took this pic, she is a bright white with dark red/purplish centers.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Gorgeous flowers. Your blog is like a taste of whats-to-come for me. We are at the bulbs blooming stage here with tulips just opening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Clem! We're a ways behind you, it'll be a while before I can put plants on my porch to look at when I'm in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteVery nice....it's hot here but the wind is blowing things around like crazy. I think we may have a thunderboomer blowing in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. The Salvia and that gorgeous buttercup yellow Iris were definite favourites.
ReplyDeleteI love the Geraniums, too. I have several varieties and some are now blooming. Before I started blogging, believe it or not, I didn't even know perennial geraniums existed! I've learned a lot in the past couple of years;-) Lovely blooms, Brooke!
