Last week I didn't get a chance to participate in Fertilizer Friday, so I wanted to be sure to join in this week since things are really looking good right now.
The Fuchsia hanging basket has hummingbirds at it all the time.
Hydrangea 'Nikko Blue'
Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'
Verbena bonariensis
Veronica 'Lilac Fantasy', finally found the tag for this one. It has reseeded around the original plant too.
Rose 'Honey Perfume'
Diascia 'Coral Canyon' is supposed to be a perennial here.
Clematis 'Etoile Violette'
Rose 'Don Juan', not sure why I planted it right next to the Blueberry bushes. I think it will be moved so we don't get pricked trying to pick them.
Nasturtium
Join Tootsie at Tootsie Time for more pretty flowers in bloom.
I won't be around much this weekend, Sweet Pea has another soccer tournament. Hopefully her team will have lots of success at it. It's their first one this season.
Lovely blooms all over the place, Catherine! My Niko has 1 bloom on it this year and I didn't cut it back...go figure! Have fun at the games!
ReplyDeleteyou were right!!! Your garden is looking sensational and it was a great time to share!!! thanks for linking up...your photos are just to die for!!! I wish my hydrangea was blue...the tags say that they are white...but they look like lime green to me!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful weekend in your pretty garden friend!
Such pretty photos Catherine - especially love the roses. Best luck to Sweet Pea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I've never grown Nasturtiums but it looks really pretty. Wish my fuchsias didn't die this year. Bob kept my hanging baskets for about 3 years and I think he pulled them out too soon this year. Dang they were getting big and looking good.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Clematis with that white center. I don't think I've seen one like that before.
Tell Sweet Pea good luck at her tournament.
Things are looking AWESOME at your place for sure!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks fabulous but I could just about cry over that hydrangea - it so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI give it two thumbs out!
ReplyDeletebeeeeuuuutiful!
ReplyDeletegreat shots.. what kind of cam do you use btw?
Wow. Everything wow. Your fuchsia almost knocked me out of my chair, Catherine.
ReplyDeleteWow, the fuchia can blow you away with its great red color. All of your flowers are looking great. The yellow rose is a special photo. The subtle colors are beautiful. And the blue of your hydrangeas is sparkling. What a nice job your flowers are doing with a little help from a friend.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - your place is breathtaking. I only hope that I can grow a flower as beautiful as yours. Your photos look like you can reach out and touch it. The deep purple of the Clematis is divine. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish we had humming birds in the UK!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers (and photos) are just stunning!
Judging by your photos, I'd say the fertilizer is working...big time! Gorgeous is the word that comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful-I adore that blue hyrdangea..not that Im jealous at all..no...but if you hear any noises in the night It might be me coming to whisk it away.
ReplyDeleteDo have a lovely weekend at the soccer tournament: Im sure she will do well ;-)
Sizzling hot! Beautiful blooms, Catherine. The Nasturtium seems to put sun to shame - it's dazzlingly splendorous!
ReplyDeleteLove the fuschias, such a pretty color! Happy FF!
ReplyDelete-Cathy
WOW!! What colours!!
ReplyDeleteOh that fuchia is devine. It hates living here in the humidity. Love the honey rose too.
ReplyDeleteCatherine! What a riot of color! (I needed my sunglasses!) ;-) Just kidding... it's absolutely gorgeous at your place. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful flowers! I really love the fuschia!
ReplyDeleteYour Verbena looks great and like mine. Mine is coming up all over the place. Almost like somebody took seed and blew it all over the yard.
ReplyDeleteI like your post with such pretty flowers.
Oh my, they are all just so pretty. Your fushia is so beautiful. Of course the blue and a hydrangea too, what is not to love about that combination. Your coreopsis looks so much fuller than mine.It probably hates my clay soil.And a yellow rose that is yellow and not red ;-)So pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers you have in bloom. I read one of your old posts about dry shade plants and I would recommend perennial geraniums. I had such a spot and they always did well. They're very tolerant plants. Isn't it funny how nobody can spell fuchsia! You did, well done.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I just thought my gardens were pretty! You are quite talented. It's a sanctuary in your yard. :)
ReplyDeletei am enjoying to see your beautiful blog. thank you for sharing beautiful garden and flowers.Very attractive photos with big fucus.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, your blossoms are beautiful! Love your close ups. The colors are so pretty. I put the veronica on my want list. Love, love, love that color! ~~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteCatherine you must have a million flowers. Everytime I look at your blog I never feel like I'm seeing the same bloom from another post. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That fuschia is absolutely beautiful, but everything is so lush and pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow the hydrangea is unbelievable! What kind is it? -Jackie
ReplyDeleteI had never seen such fuschias.The verbena and othe flowers are fabulous.How do you get such intense blue in hydrangea?
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I don't know how you are doing it, but you are capturing the colors of the blooms perfectly!! Just beautiful here!!
ReplyDeleteWow...what a wonderful site...your photos of your gorgeous flowers and beyond words....
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine! There is a lot of action in your garden! I have Don Juan climbing rose that is 5 years old. It used to be high and all covered in blooms. This year, after a bad winter, many branches got dead and after my pruning, the plant got back to the height of a regular rose. Do you prune your rose?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your nice comments and for visiting!
ReplyDeleteWe're getting ready to head out to the first game.
Prairie Chicken - The camera is a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. I love it!
Jackie - This one is 'Nikko Blue' one of the older types. It always does great here, even with a late freeze.
Lotusleaf - It's just the soil here, acidic. I don't do anything to the hydrangeas to change their color.
Tatyana - I usually do some pruning in Feb, but I didn't do anything to this one, it was new last year. I did lose a couple of roses this winter though.
I would love to see a picture of the hummingbird in your flowers!
ReplyDeletebEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteAll looking lovely Love the fuschia, blue hydrangea, veronica and Clematis Etoile Violet one which i have that performs well.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs too.
The pics of your flowers are just outstanding magazine quality, you also need beautiful flowers to have beautiful pics. "First Class"
ReplyDeleteWow, so glad you participated too. The blooms are all beauties. I want to garden tour thru your yard in person!! Hope your daughters team does well. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh Catherine, such beautiful flowers and the images are just perfection! The veronica will be added to our want list, we love them all and think this color just marvelous. Every shot is wonderful, what healthy plants.
