What's blooming?

[F, Calla & Luca]

Things are really popping in the garden right now. So much foliage and so many flowers.

I have had azaleas, which are now fading:

and then there are the rhododendrons just getting going:

The weigela:

and there are columbines:

I have roses just starting and clematis too. So lets keep this thread going. What's blooming in your garden?

weird but cute: the neighbors baby lama - vineyard in the back

don't know whtat this is - but a nice splash of color

wine is starting to climb up the pergola

and finally, strawberries! only 8 plants, though - not expecting a huge crop

Great pictures Karina and your Doodle in the garden is adorable!  What is the name of that Iris?  They are gorgeous!

[Karina and Billy]

Hello,

thank you - Billy surely enjoys the garden.

The Iris is named 'Kupferhammer’ (created by D Arends in 1930).

How could I forget honeysuckle.

Gorgeous! Love your roses and well everything! The tradescantia is new to me, is it a bulb? Beautiful little flowers! Sometimes the smallest little flower can have so much detail on it, nature is amazing.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks. Tradescantia is not a bulb but a perennial with roots. It gets a bit floppy and the flowers close later in the day but I like it. The first one I got I dug up on a country roadside. Any time you are in the neighborhood you are welcome to some of mine : ) When I was looking up a reference for you I was fascinated by the bioassay quality mentioned.

Lovely photos. My doodles eat grass and sticks. I have many plants that oils not be good foe the but luckily they have no interest in them.
