The Rest Of What's Blooming

As promised on Fertilizer Friday I had so many flowers still blooming I'd show the rest in a few days. Guess I'd best do that before they are all gone. Many of these just have a small bloom left but are still blooming even if not at their showiest!
Some Babys Breath that showed up on my bank one day. Of course it's far too big there and I've been going to move it for a couple of years and haven't gotten around to it.

Dianthus


Viola
Germander

Malva Zebrina

Linaria

I can't believe this small Abelia Edward Goucher I started has little blooms - the
big one we move last fall didn't bloom this year. It's probably still getting
settled in, or it's not getting enough sun.


Knautia


Hardy Bachelor Button, I dug this one up, tired of looking at it.

Mum


Speedwell Red Fox

Viola Johnny Jump Up


Snapdragon


Garden Phlox


Another Garden Phlox


And one last one plus a Dandelion for character

Soapwort
Blue Lacecap Hydrangea

Double Rose Of Sharon

Oops wrong place, my Hydrangea on it's way out still looking pretty as a
different color.

A little Primrose I never planted.

More beautiful Snapdragons.
And more, I seem to love Snapdragons more all the time. They bloom non stop all
summer.
Coneflower Doppleganger
Hydrangea Buttons 'n' Bows

Pink Hydrangea, don't know the name.
One of Bob's miniaure climbing roses - that desperately need a place to climb.

Coneflower Magnus

The pretty white Rose I just got Bob at an estate sale. It needed a good home!

The gorgeous yellow Rose that Doris gave him.

One of my many Campanulas that are all blooming.

The Ice Plant is FINALLY blooming, pretty late this yer.

The pretty little white Cyclamen the neighbor gave me is blooming. It is so
delicate. Now the beautiful leaves are starting to show. I'll have to take a
picture of them later.

More Bloomin' Flowers

I have so many flowers blooming right now I decided I'd best do
it in 2 posts. I can't believe I'm posting 2 days in a row! I explained a while
back how I've been so busy working outside I haven't had time to blog or hardly
visit anyone. I really miss it! How am I going to continue to learn if I can't
run around visiting your posts? I've also had some Doctors appointments in the
city (1 1/2 hours drive) and decided while I'm there I should do some shopping
to find something to wear for the class reunion I have coming up. Ug - a shopper I aint!
I'm not even doing Fertilizer Friday today because it wouldn't be fair to join in and then not go visit the whole list. Now that it's too hot for me to go outside I've got to do some work in the house before Bob trades me in on a new model. One that does something besides work out in the flowers all day long (weather permitting).
Purple Spiderwort
Pinkish purple SpiderwortVeronica Giles Van Hees

Salvia May Night

White Campanula, that I got from Doris' place and is it ever tall.
Purple Campanula
Campanula Blue Waterfall
Campanula Cherry Bells
This is the Yarrow that Sweet Bay sent me and it's just a beautiful bright pinkish
purple color. It's already making new plants so I'll be able to put it
everywhere to enjoy next year. I know Sweet Bay is taking a much needed break
from blogging right now but I still wanted to put a link to her blog. But when I
did for some reason I lost this whole post and had to start over again. Not
going there again . . .
Barberry Rosy Glow
Dianthus
Clematis Jackmanii
Lychnis Rose Campion
I got 2 primitive benches from Doris so I decided to set one out in the
'monster' garden with some of my more primitive containers on and around it. I
think it looks kind of cute. Now to find a home for the other one. They are
surrounded by Liatris, Siberian Irises and Soapwort which tries to take over the
whole bed and that's how it got the name 'monster' garden.

Addicted To Buying Flowers Or Just Filling In The Spaces

I hit a couple more nurseries the other day and I still haven't planted all of
the flowers I bought a while back. The owner of one of my favorite nurseries had
said last year she'd try to find some pink Campanulas but when I was there a
week ago she didn't have any luck. But whenI went back what did I find?
Campanula Cherry Bells. It's a start.
Here was another purple one I didn't have. It wasn't labeled but looks similar
to Campanula Pulla from what I could see in a search.
Here's one I'm not familiar with but looked interesting and the right color. Astrantia
Masterwort Abbey Road
After leaving one nursery I was driving into town and passed another one I had seen
but never been to. The reason I hadn't is because it's in her home and not open
all year. She has many plants that are rare and oddites. This Columbine was
growing everywhere on the place but she didn't have any potted up so she dug one
up for me. It's as tall as my big purple one so they'll look beautiful together.
She said it's an old fashioned one. I love that bright pink.

Another Heuchera, Midnight Rose with pink splotches in the foliage.
And look at this tiny little Hosta. It's smaller than the small one I got the other
day. The leaves are about 4 inches and it's called Blue Mouse.
I've seen this Iris before and just love the light green varigated foliage. Iris
Pallida Albo Variegata.
Another Lungwort, Mrs. Moon.
Lamium Maculatum Chequers.
Veronica Spicata Spiked Speedwell RedFox
Back at the oddity nursery she talked me into a Jack In The Pulpit.
Now I picked up some annuals since I haven't even started on my planters yet. This
one is new and apparently from Australia. So far cute as can be called Ptilotus
Joey Pink Mulla Mulla. It sort of looks like Celosia maybe bigger.
And this . . . oh my goodness . . . the most beautiful Cosmos I've ever seen. It's
open in the middle of each petal. Hmmm how unusual. Oh it's Pied Piper
Red.
Heliotrope, 2 different Sweet Potato Vines, Fuchsia, Diascia and one other I can't find the
name of.
And last some purple and pink Petunias.
Well that's it until I hit the nurseries again. Sheesh I have to get what I
already have in the ground before I go. Think of all the great spaces these are
going to fill.
