The Astrantia, I think it's "Rubra":
The Erodium:
A small Hebe:
I know what this is called in Norwegian, but can't find the scientific name for it. That leaf is so big:
A small bush that lost it's tag:
The blow-in orchid is looking good:
Some aquilegia:
The Allium giganteum. The flower heads are so small this year, probably because the bulbs have split. Last year we had three blooms, this year it's seven:
I wonder if these lilies are going to grow taller than they were last year. They're my height already:
After that tour you might enjoy to stretch out here:
The hostas are really starting now, but they're still not looking their best.

Beautiful plants and colors. I had Allium one year but it never came back, that is a pretty shade of purple
Oh a nice rest in the hammock would be great and a nice cold iced tea. I bet you really enjoy that spot.

Thank you louisiana-blooms. You might have chives growing in your garden. Are the leaves round and hollow? They're an Allium too, Allium schoenoprasum.

If they're chives they are, but I can't say without a photo and a general description of the plant height etc.

I don't think that's chives at all. It might still be some kind of Allium but I don't know it. Hopefully somebody else does.

My, my, my...just look at that hammock. If ever there were an inviting sight...Just the kind of garden tool I need. 
You sure do have lots of nice-looking flowers showing their colours at the moment. Ther Alliums are looking particularly good.
The array of Aquilegias are quite delightful to look at..in fact, the dark purple and white one I had this year as a blow-in. It is gorgeous.
I wonder what that little bush with the white flower with it's purply heart is.
That Astrantia is developing into a gorgeous speciman. I'd like to see that one when it's fully open. 
Well, I wonder what you wilol stun us with next, Droopy.

Oh Droopy, how wonderful your blooms are. I really like that blue aquilegia and the purple alium, although they are all beautiful. I like that little white flower you are sure of, it looks so delicate. Thanks for sharing.
