Blooms A-Plenty

The plants are responding to the recent bout of nice weather. And so is their tender! Today it's back to clouds and the possibility of rain but the weekend was really nice.

As I've stated before I don't buy very many summer annuals but I found two different types of annual Nemesia at a local grower--a yellow and a pink. When the temps rise, these emit the sweetest fragrance and I am a fragrance whore. :)



My hardy geranium 'Jolly Bee' is beginning to bloom. 

The hardy gladiolus are doing their best.

Heuchera 'Paris' has pretty leaves AND season-long pink flowers. What's not to love? 

The early honeysuckles are about to burst. I think I love the buds as much as the flowers. 

'Sweet Dreams' Catmint is blooming. 

Nicotiana 'Twinkle' overwintered AND reseeded and is beginning to bloom already. 
[This photo is from last year to remind me how much I love this plant.] 

The Oxalis have been blooming for a few weeks now. 

Phuopsis stylosa is blooming. 

The Verbascums are a happy bunch. 

And lastly, the Vinca are still abloom.
