Is that Lupine? I bought some and planted this year. It is small as is the flower, do they get bigger with age? Yours are very showy and beautiful.

Yup, it's lupine. They get rather large as they get bigger. My pink one gets blooms a foot high(it's a few years old). The purplish one was planted in the spring. They self seed as well.

The hydrangea blooms look very white there. They actually have a pink tinge to them. Its taken 4 years to finally feel like blooming in that spot.

Do the blooms stay flat across? There is an old house that burned down years ago up the road and they have a hydrangea like that in the yard. I am tempted to go dig out a piece.

Gorgeous-and I'm glad you posted a picture of bee balm. I've never seen it and I thought it was the same thing as lemon balm, until I learned differently from another poster.

Tamara - it's called a "lacecap" hydrangea - I have one too.

Wrennie - those are such pretty pictures of very bright and cheerful flowers!
I can't believe your astilbe are in bloom already! Mine have flower stalks, but none are open yet. And what a huge, bright area of bee balm - I don't prefer red flowers, but those are sooooooooooo NICE!!!

You can have as much as you can carry! It spreads. lots. so put it somewhere you dont mind it dominating. Or in a planter. Its a cool plant though.

The rose campion is probably one of my least aggressive plants! :LOL: If you dont want it to spread deadhead, deadhead, deadhead! As soon as the blooms are spent. Or else you get a kabillion seeds.

Wrennie, I'm going to give rose campion a try. I will stop at the nursery and buy a plant. They are only $1.99/ea there. My neighbors will either love me or hate me in three years when I fear it will be all over my yard and theirs.

I say go for it.
mine grows in this flower bed to the left of and behind those evening primrose. (they arent fully blooming yet in this pic) Point is, to the left of that is a patch of grass then the poppy & coneflower garden around the mailbox. they've no chance or room to get in there, and they get mowed in the grass, maybe thats why mine dont spread, nowhere to go.

Here ya go Sarah...
[quotemyemail]HI Nancy

There are a LOT of daylilies that look almost identical to each other, sometimes the diffference is who bred it, or maybe they took one and changed it slightly. But this one looks a lot like Miss Jessie, grown with some shade during the day. (When grown in full all the time sun her lavender is paler.) Is it on a quiz? Does the person who posted it know what it is? I would certainly go with Miss Jessie. Looking through my encyclopedias (which of course don't list them all, as there are too many to list really) Miss Jessie is the only one who comes close, unless it's a VERY new Hybrid.

I reallly wish my camera would have captured the true color of this Envy Zinnia the center of the flower is closest to the color you can see .. It is a soft lime green and this is the first one this year I definatly will harvest seeds to have more next year!!!
