My First May Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day

When I started blogging in October, I noticed posts about GBBD, and my research showed me that Carol, of May Dreams Gardens started it, and continues to host it each month.  Now that I have lots of blooms, I tried to limit this post to flowers that I haven't shown on my blog yet, but there are some that slipped in.

Amsonia hubrichtii:

Amsonia tabernaemontana:

White bleeding heart:

Cat mint, Walker's Low?:

Onion, or giant chives:

Regular chives, with pinker flowers, and smaller stems than the giant chives:

Columbines, 3 passalongs:

Several of the heucheras are blooming:

I have several of these dianthus of some kind, maybe sweet williams that lived over the winter in my new bed that was started last June:

False baptisia:

Iris rescued from a place where the house was removed for a duplex or apartment to be built:

This one from a neighbor friend:

Orange hawkweed, another passalong that I keep in its boundaries:

This year's tub of pansies that is doing better than the others that haven't bushed out yet, and that I put in the header to replace last year's tub:

This peony, showing color, was here when we moved in, planted by my mother-in-law when she lived here:

I call these perennial bachelor buttons.  They look like what I've seen called mountain bluets:

I like this pink dame's rocket my sister gave me last year:

Red Valerian:

Another passalong, a repeat blooming day lily, my first to bloom, too:

The yellow flowered plant is an herb I plan to find the name of and put here later.  The alliums are doing well:

I have the tag for this somewhere in the house, and will try to get it on the post, too:
