The Dwarf Iris that I transplanted early this spring just started blooming. The other varieties have already finished and this beauty is just getting started.
There is something special about this flower. Perhaps it is her translucent appearance when the sunlight shines on her in the morning.
In another year or two the clump should increase nicely and I can move some of the rhizomes to another area of the garden.
The Alliums are still blooming here and there but I have cut most of the tall stalks down this week.
The Wigelia bush is heavily laden with pink and white flowers, and I bet the hummingbirds enjoy them.
My favorite weeping shrub the Deutzia Magician is also blooming. I think the hard frost we had back in April damaged the early buds. There are only a few branches that have flowers on them this year.
The Columbine are reaching their peak this week and I have cut back some of them already as I don't want them reseeding everywhere.
I like the color of this pink one and would like a few more so I will save the seeds from her.
This perennial Cornflower is also in full bloom and I have a feeling it will be finished by the weekend.
I staked the Lupine spikes this week because we expected high winds and heavy rain. I remember last year how the rain caused them all to bend to the ground and they never recovered. This time I was prepared and they are standing strong.
I purchased this Fushia hanging basket for the hummingbirds and two blossoms opened. I love the contrasting colors on this one.
My fav! This orange Azalea blooms its heart out every year outside my kitchen window. It is stunning!
I should take time to clone it as I see small shoots coming up around the base. It would be nice to have another one on the property.
Lastly, I have to share the bleeding heart to send some loving vibes to all my friends. Happy Gardening!
Until next time, this is Sunscape
