I should call this May Bloom post …For-get-me-not and friends . They seem to be in most photos as are the Aquilegia . |
I started out with just one , This could be it 'Winky Blue and White ' |
This is one of my favorite that have self seeded this year . |
I think I must have brought this Aquilegia one from my mother's garden , here with a plump red Paeony |
Last year I dug out most of the pale ones, and kept the dark blue and purple . |
A little native. |
Two natives : Delphinium trollifolium and Red Columbine |
Centaurea montana came with the house. |
Weigela is full of blooms this year ! |
P.'Turkish delight ' is just beginning to get going. |
Lunaria annua 'Rosemary Verey' |
Eythronium 'Kondo and Epimedium lishihchenii |
Lamium orvala and Beesia deltophylla |
Astrantia major and Euphorbia blackbird |
Euphorbia polychroma |
A big whopping clump of Euphorbia oblongata , one of many clumps. |
Astrantia major 'abbey road' |
A think this is one of the Pacific coast Iris I got from Alison at last years plant swap. |
Persicaria bistorta with Geranium phaeum 'Samobor' |
The Ghost Ferm makes a nice backdrop for this new Aquilegia …from Alison at this years plant swap. |
Another one from Alison ! |
Geranium phaeum 'darkest of all' |
Armeria 'rubrifolia' |
These must be my most exciting blooms ! Sinocalycanthus 'Hartiage wine' Thank you Carol for hosting May Dreams Gardens |
All so very nice. I picked up some columbine at the plant swap - you may have brought them. There are so many nice varieties!
ReplyDeleteI got a couple of Lunaria from you a few years ago at the swap, the babies of those plants are flowering this year. Love them! My Aquilegia are just getting started. They sow themselves all over.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...what a bouquet of color in your spring garden! Jealous that you have a native columbine growing..I've tried to start them from seed without success. grr. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteYour garden does May Bloomday well! I'm especially impressed with your Euphorbia polychroma, wow...mines just a little thing.
ReplyDeletethank you for letting me look around . I love epimediums so seeing a new one, Epimedium lishihchenii, was great.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I talkled you into that Hartlage Wine. Got one myself early this spring...watching it get ready to bloom.
ReplyDeleteYour aquilegias are so beautiful, Linda! I love their colours. Must be quite a nice surprise to have such a beautiful self-seedling! Your other plants are looking lovely too!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
