and Wooly Thyme.
We'd love to see what you have blooming!
I worked on it for a few hours and ..
this is what I ended up with!
I love it and hope to get some old weathered wood to rebuild it the right way but this will do for now.
Welcome!
Today I'm going to show you my side garden. This garden is to the right of my house, the walkway is to the beauty shop. Now that the Lupines and Bachelor Buttons are
I dug things out of this garden last year and love finding blooms I forgot I planted like this Globeflower, Golden Queen.
It has an orange tint and shows up well against the Yellow Loosestrife,
I discovered this Gallery Red Lupine on the far side of the garden, next to my neighbors driveway. The pink behind it is a volunteer foxglove.
This shot is looking done from the top of the garden. The white flowers are Beard Tongue, Husker Red. The stems are reddish and the blooms are really a very light pink inside. A friend gave me money years ago when my Grandmother died and told me to by a plant. I got this because my Grandma loved red and the my friend loved white flowers.
Some of the Beard Tongue decided to move to the bottom of the garden with daisies and yellow Sundrops.
I found this Dianthus, Heart Attack last year. I love the color! The pink you see in this picture is from a Cranesbill Geranium that has spread here and there throughout this wild garden.
This shot is the true color.
As you can see I love color! In my mind there is no clashing in the garden. If you'd like to show me your colors, just add your name and permalink to Mr Linky and add link on your blog to this post. We'd love to see what's bloomin' this week where you are.Powered by... Mister Linky's Magical Widgets.
The foxglove aren't as tall as last year but they are still beautiful.
They have been blooming for about a week now.
This spot is right by my front door. 
I just bought these giant allium last year and was very happy to see them bloom this year.

Welcome to my shade garden!
This tree and a huge maple in the corner of my neighbors property make for this shady corner on my lot. The sign says 'Time spent in a garden is well spent', which I certainly believe.
The pink and white Dead Nettle around this tree just keeps spreading. There is a concrete circle around the tree but that didn't stop it. As with everything that I don't need, I just pull it out.
To the left is the actual entry to the garden. There are a few stones showing the path with some ground covers between. The tall plant right behind the left post is Solomon Seal.
The white peony on the left, just before the entry was beautiful this year.
The plants I depend on the most to fill this garden are Coral Bells, Hosta and Ferns. They survive our long, cold winters, fill in more every year and add color and texture. Here you can see a hosta behind the Heuchera (Coral Bell) Melting Fire. I love the new colors of Coral Bells like the "Carmel' on the left behind the fern.
I think the Soft Needle Fern, on the left, is my favorite fern. I love how soft and frilly it is. It is next to a Japanese Painted Fern.
Brunerra is another reliable shade plant. It is a nice mounding plant that adds some white to the garden without being stark against all the greens. This one is Jack Frost. There are ferns behind it and a Toad Lily on the right. The yellow flowers are a creeping Sedum.
This shot shows the Toad Lily, on the left with variegated Solomon Seal behind it, a small leaf hosta and a Brilliance Autumn Fern. The fern turns beautiful shades of rust, orange and browns in the Fall.
The last picture is on the way out of the shade garden. I have a Remember Me Hosta on the left, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, a bright green Hosta, and Coral Bells, Molly Bush. The plants in front are Prim Roses that line the path. They have gotten huge this year.Powered by... Mister Linky's Magical Widgets.
