    Keep in mind that it is only early June here in Wisconsin and most things will be a little while to bloom. But here's some of the pretty spring flowers that brighten my days. Also, these pics are pre-mulch.

    You'll have to look closely to see what else is blooming in this bridal wreath!

    You've got more color there than I do in ME. Yippee for you. Mine is coming as I'm sure more of yours is. It's so fun to see other pics. And Trevor is a cutie! Thanks for sharing.

    You have some colourful fotos there,JAKRUM. I can tell that when things really begin to roll up there, you're going to have lots more to show. Thanks for your posting.

    Yup!

    #3 is a zinnia. They are one of the annuals that bloom so profusely here in my little garden. Last year they were covered in flowers and everybody commented on them. I remember my father always had them in his flower garden, but then I never saw any for years. It seems like they are coming back in style again.

    A few more pics taken yesterday

    My husband is teasing me about sitting outside taking pics of the flowers. But the darn kids won't hold stil long enough to take their pics. What can I say? I love my flower garden and like to share.

    One of my personal favorites is the heliotrope. Their scent reminds me of chocolate chip cookie dough.

    Please ignore your husband and keep on sharing! :D Your clematis is lovely. I've tried growing heliotropes as annuals, but so far with no success. I might try again, seeing your lovely bloom.
