Bulbous!

The colors on my hydrangea flowers this season are awesome!

So much so that I cut and brought some inside to enjoy.

Chameleon like in the sense that they seem to be changing colors to match the vase they're in, cool right?!

I have (5) hydrangea bushes in my front flower beds.  They're big and full and beautiful, however, only one ever flowers.  Even when these plants were elsewhere on the property, same deal, only the one would flower.  I've tried leaving the old growth, nothing.  I've tried cutting them back, nothing.  Not sure what the issue is but would be nice if all five flowered.

Bark Bark! Get It? Dogwood...

Our dogwood tree looked terrific this spring!  Full of beautiful pink blossoms!  I love this time of the year.

it's A Purple Theme Spring

Seems many of our plants that are currently flowering are doing so in purple or a variation of.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all.  To the contrary...

Allium -

Columbine -

Spiderwort -

Miniature Iris -

Geranium sanguineum 'Max Frei' -

Chives -

Pretty, Oh-So-Pretty!

Here is a sampling of the flowers we potted up this Spring, STUNNING, yes?!?!

Coleus Basket

My farmer friend "Tim" gave me a half dozen "Black Dragon" coleus plugs that he started back in the Spring.  They were so tiny.  I didn't think they'd make it but hand watering and some TLC and they took off.

Coleus come in so many different varieties and colors now a days.  I'm partial to the blacks and chocolates.  May just do a coleus garden next year with a bunch of different types.

I may even try to bring one of these Black Dragons in the house for the Winter and start clippings come early Spring.
