More blooms

Got some new blooms!

Peony in the sunshine and then on cloudy day. The yellow seems to fade really fast. But they are still pretty.

Some new blooms on another Siberian Iris. I don't know why the camera is showing this as another blue because it's a dark purple blue to the eye. My camera seems to be color blind with Iris but portrays all the other colors correctly.

Some Foxglove and wild pink Malva. I don't know where the Malva comes from, they are "volunteers." But think I will keep them. Lots of buds for blooms to come in future.

Finally, some Valerian flowers and broccoli! Thought I would take a pic of the broccoli before it was cut and eaten for supper.

I think that's the same musk mallow Malva that I have, Ceara! I love it--it's listed as alien in my wildflower book but I tolerate it cuz it's so pretty! (It's a hard job to tolerate beautiful "weeds", but someone has to do it! )

The peonies are gorgeous I really love peonies...mine are done for the year, though.

And I can see part of the broccoli ( ), but I think I'll have to come back for the rest of the pics...still having connection troubles

Oh, and by the way, I have some pics of the blooming wild bee balm or purple bergamot--still not 100% sure of which it is--but I don't have the bandwidth to upload the pics. I haven't forgotten, though.

Finally got a decent connection and can see the irises That Valerian is beautiful--what does the whole plant look like? I've heard of it and probably seen it from afar, but for the life of me, I can't picture it. How tall does it get?

Unfortunately, good connection or not, I don't have time to post pics right now!

later!
