Friday's Garden Update

Hyacinth

Yarrow

Foxglove

Bleeding Heart

Labrador Violet (2nd Year)

Astilbe (2nd year)



Heuchera (Coral Bells)

Primrose


Bleeding Heart

Columbine


I thought this was a daffodil but this is mutant!
It almost looks like an Iris bud but I truly don't know what I planted.
Guess we'll find out soon enough (I always did like surprises!)
[ Edit: I spoke to my mom today and asked her if she remembered what she gave me last year and we think this may be a very full daffodil. She said it looks like a small carnation when in full bloom and has a different shape than the standard daffodil.
We shall see!]



Clematis


Something (or someone) broke/attacked my Iris. They are poisonous so I don't know if an animal did this but I'm monitoring the situation (If I find a lazy postman is the cause of this I will be very nasty, I don't mind if they want to step over the gate but be careful of where you step)

Phlox


Well the garden is in full swing. I can't wait until things start budding and blooming. While I enjoy watching these things grow, I understand that some of you may find it rather dull. To those of you, please be patient! In a few short weeks, we will have a bounty of blooms we can share. I have even more flowers in the backyard, including my Tree Peony(which hasn't shown too much growth yet), a Herbaceous Peony, yellow Daylilies, Phlox, Coneflowers, Hydrangea and so many others. I'm really not a patient person but I have learned to appreciate the beauty in the slow unfolding of my garden.

I have a sign in my garden that says, "I don't remember planting this". You need that for your mutant plant! ;) And what kind of phlox is that?

I do need that sign! I usually remember everything but after my son was born the sleep deprivation killed off those brain cells(LOL)

The Phlox is a garden phlox called Lilac Time(I remember it's name because I liked a British band back in the 90s with the same name) It's a pretty, solid lavender color. I also have one in the back that is a vibrant deep pink. They are such pretty flowers.
