Columbines all blooming away. I find these short-lived for me, and any seedlings seems to run to the old 'Granny's bonnet' variety (last pic), so I just plan on picking one or two up each season to change out the look. The purple/white Remembrance (2nd row, right) is in honor of the students of Columbine, and I'm hoping that will be a stronger variety and stick around.

Thumb of 2013-05-15/Jewell/ff7a3f. This Persian lavender fills the entire area with its fragrance. For such a small bush it certainly packs in a lot of heaven. The clematis I think compliments it. A little bouquet.

Here's a new clematis I couldn't pass up - Bourbon - perhaps it was the name..

Jewell, I wasn't going to correct you regarding "Persian Lavender" figure you meant persian lilac...but I looked in the database just to be sure, and there isn't any photos of persian lilac, so please feel free to add photos, if you have some that show more of the plant itself, along with this one which shows the bloom! You can earn "acorns" that way, and it increases our database!
Thanks!
