Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. Special thanks to Carol for hosting Bloom Day at May Dreams Gardens. I wasn't sure if I would get a post done this month. It was gray, wet and windy most of the weekend, which didn't lend itself to taking photos.
The penstemon pseudospectabilis looks so healthy this year. It has already started to peak and the blossoms are starting to fade.
Another photo of penstemon on the left. The rose queen salvia in the upper right corner has become one of my favorites. And the primroses in the bottom corner are more plentiful than they've ever been.
Everything is coming up primroses. The primroses started blooming earlier than they ordinarily do and have ensconced many of the flowers.They surround the penstemon, columbine and ultraviolet salvia.
I feel like a woke up one day and there was an unexpected sea of pink of primroses. A parting photo of the front garden on an overcast day.

Primroses are Ok most of the time, however I had to quit using them as they engulfed one of my Oklahoma gardens. They sure are pretty tho.
ReplyDeleteI hear that happens a lot. Every few years, I dig about half of them out and start giving them away to anyone who will take them.
ReplyDeleteGreat blooms and that slope looks lovely. Nice combination of plants you have there.

Thank you! Now if I could only get all the plants to grow on cue. :)
DeleteWow what a beautiful array of pink!! I love the penstemon too. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteThe pinks dominated everything else this month.
DeleteSpectacular! That what your images are. Kapow!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I'm glad my garden came back to life after last year's drought. :)
DeleteEvery time I see primroses on blogs I think I must get some in my garden. Yours look very happy! I love the combo with the yellow columbine!
ReplyDeleteThe columbine is a volunteer that a friend gave me. It blooms every year around Mother's Day.
DeleteBeautiful color in your garden!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela; it makes me smile when I pull up to the drive way.
DeleteYour garden looks great! I had to dig up my pink sundrops/primroses (oenathera) because they took over an entire bed. Hopefully, yours will be better behaved. I have a lot of pink in my garden, too, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I should thin them out in the near future, but I'll enjoy them while I can. I didn't realize I had so much pink in my garden until I started looking at the photos for this post, but it's easy on the eyes.
