Bloomin' Tuesday

We've been battered by rain and wind for the last few days,

but I do have a few blooms to share.

These ferns grow wild on my parent's property.

So I can gather as many as I want, for my garden.

Don't hate me.

These too.


'French Lace' Wiegela.
It begins to bloom just as azalea's are beginning to fade.
I just love the foliage.
And the blooms are nice too.


In my garden, I like things to plant things closely together, so they can grow right into each other. I love how this 'Creeping Jenny' (Lysimachia) gets tangled up with this ajuga.

Stachys (lambs ears).
My daughter loves these, she says they feel like bunny rabbit ears.

I'm not sure of the cultivar, but I love this Japanese Maple.

The branches are a flaming bright red, and each leaf is outlined with red.
I've just planed this next to a burning bush. I'm really looking forward to seeing these plants when they are more mature.

I have several varieties of asiatic lilies.
This is a yellow variety, and it multiplies like crazy.

That's a good thing.

Even without the flowers, the emerging foliage is gorgeous.

Be sure to pop on over to Ms GreenThumbJeans to see some actual blooms,

and lovely gardens.
