It's a jungle out there

I shall have to make a lot of effort this year, and get some plants moved and divided to make proper room for them all. Some Aquilegias have to go to a new home, because the poor Arisaema is disappearing in them. Here are a few photos from outside this evening:

This tree heath is a baby from my mother's garden. Her tree heath managed to sow this all by itself. It's very rare on our latitude:

Can you see the poor orchid in between that Trillium? There's also another Trillium and a Primula in there somewhere. That particular Trillium needs a new home, and I've got the place for it too. It's so big, it's nearly as tall as the Glaucidium:

I could hardly find this poor baby in between all the Aquilegias:

The columbines. I have let them self-seed in order to get some nice combinations, and I have had some success with that. But I need to get rid of a lot of dark red, blue and red-and-white ones:

Some of our plants are a sorry sight because of the rain and low temps during the last days. Well, suits them right. They shouldn't be blooming yet, most of them. And the honesuckle started a week ago! *faints* It's normally in bloom around mid-summer.

Wow, such a wonderful variety of pretty blooms. There are a lot of flowers in there that I am not familiar with at all. Your rock garden -- I love the look of that so much! Aqualegia, I don't know that one at all -- I wonder if it grows here, I dont' think I have ever seen it at a garden center but I will look again. The blue green one and the Aquilegia Barlow-cross are ethereal -- reminds me of a fairy's home. I also love your pics of the Alium giganteum and the 2nd shot of the trollius -- they are great. Your garden must be amazing.
