I have also gotten some new colors in the last week or so. Mostly thanks to my daylilies, bee balms, and glads. I have a gorgeous Shepherd's Purse daylily. It has large, fluffy, white flowers. It is a young plant with only one flower spike. It should really look nice in a few years, when it fills out. I also have a lot of Crimson Pirate daylilies blooming, with their dark, slender flower petals. We tried nanus glads this year. they are supposed to be winter hardy. The blooms aren't quite as big and showy as normal glads, but they have some neat colors. Most of them are shades of red, pink, and white, with dark centers. Between the Stella and Penny's Worth daylilies, Coreopsis's, primroses, and daffodils; we have so much yellow in the spring and early summer. We do have some tulips, hyacinths, spiderworts, and other flowers of varied colors, but the yellows seem to dominate. My wife has said "no more yellow flowers" for a couple of years now. I bought her a Sterling rose for mother's day, and it has added another great color to the garden. I know some people like theme gardens, that focus on one color. But I find many colors much more interesting. Even if it doesn't have a theme, or flow to it, you just enjoy going out every day to see what has bloomed.

I have new rudbeckias, ratiba, verbena, cosmos bright lights, and balsams heating up the color schemes. hot hot hot and I lovecolor riots and visual train wrecks.

I wish I could say I planned all the blooms, but a huge winter sown planting forced me to plop things here and there just to give them homes. I have made some silly mistakes, but many have survived incorrect plantings in spite of my inexperience with all these new to me plants.

Hey Rastagecko!

Are you planning on bringing any of your red Pirate daylillies to the swap? It sound like a kind that I don't have any of. You know that I have to have some of everything!

Hug Noah for me!
