The fern are gigantic; hosta and sedum doing well as usual. My March hip replacement is hindering my work in the flower beds but not my pleasure in seeing them...rebeccahttp://sceneinourgarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-16963442656984622952014-05-28T19:48:34.796-05:002014-05-28T19:48:34.796-05:00Sue, Your garden is looking amazing!

I got some more Geum from there, and the plants were only a couple inches wide. They are doing fine, but not growing much yet. Oh, and the rabbits here love the Daleas. I put a basket, like those you put liners in for hanging plants over mine when they are young.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-14932542897481919512014-05-27T21:25:57.670-05:002014-05-27T21:25:57.670-05:00Sue, your garden looks better every time I visit y...Sue, your garden looks better every time I visit your blog, and I can't figure out how that's possible because it always looks great. What a wonderful habitat for pollinators and wildlife! My Peonies and Irises are just about to bloom. They make a great combination in a floral bouquet. I'm glad you had a nice Memorial Day weekend.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-23922561840865027782014-05-27T17:15:30.254-05:002014-05-27T17:15:30.254-05:00Sue, I wanted to thank you for posting about the s...Sue, I wanted to thank you for posting about the shell leaf penstemon. I visited the website and actually purchased the plant. I also got a Dalea and a Geum trifolium. I've never purchased plants from so far away so hopefully they'll arrive in good condition. Love all your blooming goodies.

They really stand out by the curb, and must catch the eye of passers-by. The pink Phlox pilosa gets a lot of flowers packed together. Although my peonies haven't started yet, I too always wished that they bloomed for longer. I have a pink double, like yours, and have to walk by and sniff it everyday during its short bloom time.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-8752195786517165882014-05-26T19:13:21.345-05:002014-05-26T19:13:21.345-05:00Looking Great!

Your...<br /><br />Sue, what a difference just one month makes. Your garden areas have sprang to life with vigor. My tulips and daffodils are done and the Iris are in full bloom. The peonies are close to bloom but not quite opened the buds yet. I agree with you on wanting the peonies to last longer. I not too much into flowers as you know but would like incorporate more into my gardening. I'd like to blend the two together. <br /><br />I am in the process of buying another foreclosed property from the city which will be more like your garden. It's in a neighborhood area on a corner lot. It's relatively level and clear of brush and weeds. My thoughts are to take inspiration from your posts and make it a neighborhood beautification corner with landscaping, flowers, and maybe a vegetable or two mixed in with the rest of the vegetation. That will be a couple years down the road as I've learned to get the bones of the garden complete first before planting. Well, then there's the EPA lead in the soil testing that has to happen before too much work begins. It's all a learning process to become an urban farmer.<br /><br />Have a great Memorial Day enjoying the blooming garden.<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-44277173169980380052014-05-26T06:33:07.668-05:002014-05-26T06:33:07.668-05:00It is always a treat to see your lovely gardens. ...It is always a treat to see your lovely gardens.

I have never seen a Penstemon with so many blossoms and the shell leafed one is lovely. Of course, the Peonies are wonderful.....as are the Golden Alexanders. Your sitting area is very inviting.....ah....a cup of coffee and the camera and I might never leave!
