My foxgloves have started to bloom. I love these plants!
This dark color is very striking.
This is a view of part of the garden in the middle of my back yard.I have a white lupine and a red lupine. I'm hoping they'll spread quickly!
This is a view of part of my "kitchen garden".
The pink bloom is Jupitor's Beard.
The yellow is loosestrife.
That's what's bloomin' in my little corner of Western New York. What's bloomin' where you are planted?

So that's what Loosestrife looks like! My foxgloves are drooping from so much rain.
I've got some bright,colorful ones up this week...Stop by my garden if you can.

The foxgloves and lupine are similar--except the flowers point down on the foxglove and up on the lupine. Interesting! The loosestrife is new to me. It's also very pretty.

These are beautiful. I love the vibrant colors. What cute little "freckles" on the foxglove! It looks like the foxgloves are standing as sentinels around that awesome birdhouse!

After two hard storms last evening, I went outside this morning to snap some pictures. I'd like to join in this week.

I enjoy seeing all your beautiful plants.

Hi everyone. Suzanne shared you guys with me. How fun! I love flowers and I love taking pictures!

Next week I'll have some fun shots of my Foxgloves that I got while experimenting with my camera. Funny, even before looking here I already had my foxglove and lupine pictures loaded on my Bloomin'Tuesady post... :)

Jean, What's your secret to growing such nice foxgloves?

I have never been able to get them to reseed.

Your gardens are looking great as usual.

Cole said...

I have a hillside of foxgloves that grow wild. They came back this year and I didn't do a thing. I didn't know you had to do something....
