    I love the succession of flowers from spring till fall. Some only show for a short time and are gone. Some last for a while and others bloom repeatedly. Here's some that are blooming now.

    My Iris are all finished now and so are the peonies. The veronica, Siberian iris, butterfly delphiniums, and scabiosa are taking over now and the campanula, penstemon, dianthus and gaillardia are still blooming.

    Hi. So very nice to see folks gardening results and how lucky we are to have such an endless wealth of plants/flowers of all types to choose from. I congratulate all gardeners who mostly are also lovers of wildlife generally - their efforts not only creating great beauty but are also doing so much to help Ma Nature - I feel that in this day and age she needs all the help she can get.

    Every thing looks so beautiful...it is hard to keep things that are blooming going in a garden. I think I will have a big let down when things are done in my garden...it was so full that I didn't have much room for annuals.

    Lovely peonies. I have red and pink but no white. Since I transplated to my new garden I only got 1 bloom on a pink one this year. Guess it is taking them a bit to get themselves established. Hopefully next year.

    Also like your gallaria variety. Mine is more yellow but I like yours too.

    Lovely pics :) :) :)

    I do have a red peony but it was already done blooming. It is what I've always called the 'Memorial Day' peony because it always booms around that time.
