Here are a couple pics I've taken over the last week or so since I've started feeling better and gotten out a bit. The weather here's been really funky with rain and sun in the same day or not so I've not gotten out much.
I really need to take a look at the plants I've got and try to find some that will flower between what I have because it seems to me I have too many blank spots. Of course that could have something to do with this crazy weather I'm not sure. Anyway...
My trumpet vine is looking good. There was a robins nest in it but I looked today and it looks like they've moved on. Not sure if there were ever eggs or not, mommy wouldn't let me get that close to see.
My daisies, not quite there yet but they are coming.
My dianthus.
One of my three astilbe looks to have some flowers coming.
My salvia, which I know I've posted but they look so much nicer now.
white
This one was big like the white and purple ones, I don't know what happened to it.
blue
purple
Thats it for now. My hollyhocks are getting tall but I see no sign of flowers yet, same with my phlox. Hopefully soon.

They are all beautiful. Some years will be a bit crazy weather wise, and things won't bloom when we're used to. Such conditions tend to give a boring spell in the garden.

What a lovely splash of colour your dianthus are and those salvias are beautiful. I think you have more colour in your garden than I do at the moment.

Your borders looking good. Plants are healthy and that blue is irridescent. I love the vine on the lampost.

Very pretty Terry. I like the Salvia'a and the color of that Dianthus really jumps out at me

Just looking at your photos again I noticed that the plant second from the last doesn't look like Salvia. Are you sure it isn't Veronica?

All the colors you have, wish I had some of them.
Your blue Salvia-Mealy Sage, looks like mine this year. In the past it has been huge but this year it's a really small thing. It's between the Fig tree and the volunteer Oak tree and just not getting all the sun it needs.

I really like the blue slavia and the red diantus. They are so bright and cheery.
I don't have much color in mine now.

"Are you sure it isn't Veronica?"
Netty, it could be. It looks similar to the salvia and I don't know for sure. I'll have to look it up and see. Thanks for the correction. I'm not that good with some of the plants I didn't put in.
