Bloomin' Tueday

It's Bloomin' Tuesday on Ms Green Thumb Jean's blog and since it's been a while since I posted, I thought I'd join in.

My flower beds are winding down, but there are a few new faces.

Moonflower 


Naked Ladies


Euphorbia ~ Bonfire



This hosta is one of my later blooming ones.  It's white flowers smell like Easter Lilies ~



Here is some foliage that is adding color.  
Japanese Bloodgrass ~


I especially like my new foliage that I got from Sue this Spring.  Two of my starts are doing nicely.

Painter's Pallet~



And now that the squirrels have given up on my Impatiens, they are looking much better.


My Annabelle Hydrangea has now turned to green.  I hope to get the blooms cut and stick them in a wreath.


We were in Monticello, IA last week again and I got more great photos of their community garden.  I hope to publish them next week.

Again, thanks to Jean for hostessing Bloomin' Tuesday!

  6. Your moonflowers look huge! And those naked ladies-gorgeous! (Hmmm, that's not something you hear out of my mouth everyday. ;0))

  7. My moonflowers are in my vegetable garden. I've had them in the front east bed before, but for some reason, I don't have seedlings of them coming up in the spring. I've kind of run out of room for them there, anyway.

    Thanks for the link. I referred to you in a recent post, but forgot to put the link in.
