It's Bloomin' Tuesday!

Welcome!
We have been having cool weather again but no frost. Here is what's bloomin' in my corner of the country.
I'll start with one of my favorites, the cranesbill geranium. If you have a large area this plant is wonderful. It grows into a lovely mound that will get as large as you let it.
Dianthus is a great bloomer. You can find almost any color you are looking for and they come back year after year.
I love these sun roses (helianthemum) I'd like to find a darker color also.
Snow in Summer
The foliage on this plant is a very gray green. It looks super on a bank.
A burgundy colored coralbell in an area of my shade garden. The stems are so long this year.
One lonely Stella de Ora day lily.
The wild columbine is really going crazy this year. Most be time to thin some out.
Another favorite, lupine. They all seem to be purple so far. I know I've bought different colors.

Hi Jean, Happy blooming Tue!The cranes bill geranium is one of my favorites.I planted roots this year and they are just sprouts now. I have not got much done this year. I am recovering from sinus surgery. Any way have a great week.

Hi Jean, your garden is full of beautiful blooms this week. That Cranesbill looks like a nice filler and it's foliage is so dainty. I envy your Lupines, I've never had much success with them. They don't care for our heat I think. May have to try them again. :) My link didn't work for some reason so here's my post: http://perennialgardener.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/bloomin-tuesday-summer-has-arrived/

My favorite is the Snow in Summer. I seem to like the white--probably because of all the hot colors I have around.

Columbine and Lupine,..two of my favorites, -- and I don't have either of them in my rock garden or my long flower box. Hmmmm... maybe I should go shopping?

Great! I love seeing the lupine, snow in summer, and sun roses (which don't really do well in my area):) Hardy geranium is something we are trying this year. Loving yours:)

Your flowers are just beautiful! My mom loved the snow in summer ground cover and I remember lots of that when I was a kid.

My Snow In Summer and Pinks are flowering well but I'm still waiting for the Stella De Ora and Delphiniums to make an appearance - yours are looking good.

Jean, your garden looks beautiful. I envy your dianthus. I've never had good luck with them. The lupines are gorgeous! They don't do well in zone 6b where our garden lives. ~~Rhonda
