Good catch on Kiss the Princess Valerie. And I agree with Tom that they would be interesting closing to each other.

I hope the pollen ends soon because it sure wrecks bloom shots!

The first bloom on Atomic Glow (Tasco) had dark falls:

I love how dogwood blooms create spheres before the petals open fully.

Poor little Shindig. Lost a lot of this one, but the survivors decided to bloom. Smaller flowers this year.

Wukee (Spoon) is such a beautiful delicate color. I love the beard on this one.

The last pic has lots of pollen but that beard!


How about some pale daffodils to go with the wukee. Smiling

I am so fascinated by my Pink Champagne epimedium (fairy wings). It really bloomed this year. The blooms are tiny but really strange and wonderful.
