Some of these flowers I've never seen before which makes it even more exciting!

Oxalis Adenophylla AKA Pink Buttercup
These are so beautiful and delicate. I absolutely love them. So do the bunnies so I'm happy I got a picture before they got eaten!

My first peony to bloom this year! It's white but I just love the innards!

Bearded Siberian Iris "City Lights" |
I am loving these Irises. I purchased these online the year before last. They didn't bloom last year but this year they are glorious! I also realized that this isn't the Iris I ordered either. I contacted them and they are going to send me the correct Iris in September.
A close up of the gloriousness! These really are SO beautiful. I kind of just want to sit and look at them.

Duetzia x Kalmiaflora AKA Mountain Laurel Duetzia |
I love sedum because they are basically indestructible and make fantastic ground covers. My goal with this part of the garden is to be unable to see the ground. The bluish, spiky plant in the middle is Bog Rosemary. This part of my Inner Garden is a complete swamp in the winter. The drainage is terrible. So I have sedum, curly grass, bog rosemary, monarda, summersweet and euphorbia here. I also planted a hardy hibiscus (behind the pot, its still small so you cant see it) and it lived through this winter so I have high hopes for it!) with pink flowers.
I lost a lot of plants over the winter. Part of it was choosing plants on the cusp of my zone (7) and part was that it was unusually cold for a long period of time. Now I know and I won't plant those again. I've had an obsession with Hakonechloa macra grass lately. While some kinds (aureole) do fine, I've lost five Fubuki grasses. I thought I killed the first two by putting them in too soggy of an area but it looks like they just don't like it anywhere in my yard. It's such an amazing white grass with pink stripes, though! I had to try.
I love daylilies and as soon as mine start blooming I will be posting pictures. Posting pictures helps because I can remember which name goes with which daylily if I lose the label sticks or can't remember. I think I have about thirty different kinds of daylilies. I might be a plant hoarder...
I love the leaves on the Pink Buttercup. the flowers are lovely but those grean leaves!! <3 Also I love that little pot/cauldron, you should definitelly put a annual flowery plant in there :D
ReplyDeleteI planted a sage 2 years ago and It was lovely.. next year it was gone:O How you do take care of your sage? do you trim him after the flowers are dead or ?
And about your Forest Flame do you trim him or just leave him be?
Mine recently bloom like a maniac and afterthat I only cut out the flowers because I was afraid to damage the plant more (because it is such delicate plant I've heard
You should be proud, you have a wonderful garden! :)
I don't think I trimmed it... I trimmed a different plant last year and this year it didn't have any flowers! Whoops, I obviously did it at the wrong time. So I haven't been cutting back anything this year. Except the hydrangeas.
DeleteThe Pink Buttercup leaves are wonderful! They make a perfect bluish-green mound. You can't really tell from the way I took the picture. It's from a bulb, too! A big hairy one. So it's not going to spread like the weed called a buttercup.
Thank you for the compliments on my garden! I do love it and love being out in it, too. It's a wonderful hobby to have. :D
