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.

Tamara, can you save me some seeds from your lupines? I have pale purple and just bought a yellow. I love the dark purple and pink you have. Please?

I don't have any pics to share, but the only thing bloming in my garden are morning glories, violas, and some salvias. My pink columbine has put out three new blooms!

That's it, I want my own good digi cam, well at least one with a flash . Your pics are so clear and pretty. Nothing like that blooming here yet. Wrennie, do you know the variety of that hydrangea?

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!!!

The other half of my "field" of bee balm is purple. I cant wait for them to bloom. Here is my chameleon plant: White snapdragons: Why is it when I get cell packs of mixed color flowers I somehow end up putting the same color ones next to each other, but none are in bud yet so I didnt know??? hyssop bloom:

More terrific pictures of very nice plants!!!
(pssssst... Wrennie - wanna trade some of that chameleon plant for my coneflowers and butterfly bush? I was going to buy one a few weeks ago, but the price at the small roadside nursery on Route 17 down here was absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!)

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.

I love your monarda! I love rose Campion, but fear its aggresiveness. How do you keep it in check?

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!!!
