Wow, they are so beautiful, it's a pity others are not coming over to see them! The photos are also lovely and i specifically appreciate those blue sages. I haven't seen blues that intense. I can imagine a lot of creatures are also there visiting your blooms, especially butterflies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! My Baptisia is nowhere near flowering. I love Amsonia, I find it so tough and resilient especially through our droughts the last couple of years.

I wonder what it is about Lady's Mantel leaves that cause water droplets to sit like jewels? I just added the same smokey baptisia last summer. Thanks to your post I now I have a preview of it in flower. The honeysuckle's and clematis are especially pretty.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely blooms! A great show for Bloom Day.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful combinations of plants--both in color and in texture! I garden in Zone 5, so we're somewhat ahead of you; my baptisia and iris have already stopped blooming. I love both of them, so it's so good to see yours in bloom. Your unknown clematis looks very similar to mine, which I think is a 'Nelly Moser.' But mine was mislabelled, so I could be wrong:)
ReplyDeleteYou sure do have quite a bit blooming...I see so many here that I just love.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do have a lot of blooms... the unlabeled clematis especially lovely! L
ReplyDeleteEach picture kept getting better and better! You have a lot blooming! Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteLovely post...love the Baptisia...and the pairing of the Salvia with the Achillea...just lovely!
ReplyDeletethe flowers are beautiful and you are right we don't always see what is blooming...I have been making it a habit to stroll the garden daily when i return home from work with camera in hand to catch the new blooms before they are gone...such a shame not to see them...wonderful post!!
ReplyDeleteNice garden, my favorites are the thyme.
ReplyDeleteI do love Goatsbeard in bloom. (Mine is just starting to show buds, so it will be a while yet.) Iris prismatica is a new one to me; it's lovely. I also think the 'Blue Ice' amsonia is beautiful; I'm looking forward to adding that one to my garden. -Jean
