All your blooms are truly beautiful. I've had the same experience with Astilbes..3 out of 4 of mine grow slower than I don't know what. Your pink is gorgeous!<BR/>I saw Clematis Niobe at a local garden center recently and thought it might be redder than the color I'm after, but your photo looks more pink..and just right to me. I may go back and buy it. Thank you!<BR/>I can see why Disneyland is a big favorite with you. It's glorious!<BR/>Wonderful photos..all!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-83830707919496058002008-06-21T03:33:00.000-04:002008-06-21T03:33:00.000-04:00Those dutch iris are so interesting.

I must look out for that here. So many for favs. I will need to be selective. <BR/><BR/>‘Crown Princess Margareta’ is the next to really catch my eye. What a glorious colour! Closely followed is the allium and astrantia. ‘Niobe’ I do have but it isn’t flowering here yet in my part of Scotland.<BR/><BR/>I love the sea holly ‘Blue Hobbit’ this is another I will look out for. It really is quite delicate looking. I will finish with the blue of ‘Royal Candles’ wow that is striking!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I must leave space for other comments but I love the peony too :-D<BR/><BR/><I>Enjoy the rest of your week :-D</I>Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-54859903947168550852008-06-18T07:39:00.000-04:002008-06-18T07:39:00.000-04:00Remember when you had nthing to show for GBBD and ...Remember when you had nthing to show for GBBD and look at your garden now.

And the geum--I've almost bought geum now for the past two years, but somehow keep changing my mind.<BR/><BR/>Is your bright pink allium rather short? If so, I wonder if it could be allium ostrowskiana. (It also has an alternate name, allium oreo-something. I just remember the first part because of the cookie! lol.) I planted some of those in the midst of my groundcover sedums last fall, and they look really nice,hovering over the sedum in bloom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-82212695126205147092008-06-17T21:16:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:16:00.000-04:00All I can say is WOW Kylee.

You should post a photo of its foliage. Astrantia 'Roma' is lovely. I like the pink & burgundy ones so much better than the white ones.

It is outstanding.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-47057311754262389722008-06-17T01:14:00.000-04:002008-06-17T01:14:00.000-04:00Thanks, Robin.

We're glad of that, because we've planted several new ones in the last couple of years and we aren't getting any younger. No saplings for us anymore, if we want to see them reach a decent size!

I do like the different varieties of things as well as the oldies. Isn't there just so much to love in the plant world?<BR/><BR/><B>minhus ~</B> I love Astrantia, too! Yes, this is my third summer, after starting to garden for real at the end of summer 2005. Max's Garden didn't even exist until October 2005, when we dug out the grass and planted a few shrubs and some clumps of daylilies.<BR/><BR/>When I get hooked on something, I'm obsessed. Truly. Being an internet junkie since 1997, I read a lot, a lot, a lot. It was like I just couldn't learn things fast enough! I love nothing better than to be on my hands and knees digging in the dirt and I'm fascinated by plants and how and why they do what they do.<BR/><BR/>No, you shouldn't compare yourself with others. And no matter what I may have learned by reading, there are so many things that can't be learned any other way than by experience. I've got a long way to go before I feel experienced! ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Naturegirl ~ </B>I just read about Christopher! I adore newborns and I'm so happy for all of you! Someday I hope we have some of those around here! :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Muum ~ </B>'Chihuly' has been such a wonderful rose for me, ever since I planted it in the spring of 2006. Each bloom looks just a bit different than the other, but all are gorgeous.<BR/>The geum blooms all summer if you keep deadheading it. It will bloom even if you don't deadhead it, but of course it will have more blooms more often if you do.<BR/><BR/><B>Rose ~ </B>Thanks, Rose. Astrantia is commonly called Masterwort and it was new to me last year, too. I really love its intricate blooms! <BR/><BR/><B>Cinj ~ </B>Yes, this is my third summer. I went to the 2005 Cleveland Flower Show with my mom and that kind of sparked my interest in gardening. I bought a few plants that summer, but it wasn't until spring of 2006 that I jumped in with both feet and got serious about things.<BR/><BR/>I've killed and lost my fair share of plants, but with each loss I learned something. In the rose department, I've lost 'Diana Princess of Wales' and 'Sutter's Gold'. Right now, my 'About Face' is really struggling, as is my seond "Diana Princess of Wales' (which I thought I'd lost altogether, but when I went to dig it up, there was a bit of green on it).<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your rescue blog post!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-22964078213433649442008-06-16T22:57:00.000-04:002008-06-16T22:57:00.000-04:00Seriously?
