Wonderful photos Duane. You like similar perennials that I also enjoy. I'm always drawn to plants that make tall spires of flowers.
Here are some scenes from my yard this morning:
My favorite spring combo: barberry + Baptisia 'Purple Smoke'
I have lots of Spanish lavender, always covered in honeybees.
Island bed along driveway
Along driveway, purple erysimum, Jupiter's beard, lithodora, orange erysimum 'Apricot Twist', nepeta 'walker's low'
Mutant flower spike on my Veronica 'First Love'
Very exciting for me, this Papaver orientale 'Patty's Plum', b/c I started it from seed 2 seasons ago. Blooming for the first time.
Wisteria is almost done.
Dianthus 'Firewitch'
Mother's Day gift for me:
A type of allium, I can't remember the name
Bed of irises
