Cleaning up spent tulips, Allium leaves today.  Big thunderstorm on the way.  The gardens at filling in making weeding less of a chore.  LM

@MariotaMurielle, I just LOVE the colour orange in the garden.  What a lovely combo of orange and violet.  Your lilies look just gorgeous.  You are quite a bit ahead of me.  Thank you for posting.  I love to see all the photos.

 We are at the end of Lilacs, Azaleas and tulips.  Rhodes are still going strong but not for much longer.  It is a few weeks before our perennials take off.  LM

@pattypeep, I am too jealous of your clematis!!!  I planted two last year.  I can't even remember the colours but not white.  I have one climbing up a big post to a bird house.  The other is a double plant I am trying to climb a rescued birch truck.  I think I might get flowers this year.  I don't know anything about them so Inwill have to dig out the tag and study up!

The bee balm is so pretty!  What is the red trumpet shaped flower?

Gorgeous flowers as always!  LM

I love the poppy! Our soil is too wet for them here by me.

@Lilysmom Thank you. I honestly can't remember what the tulip shaped flowered bush is called. I have had it for so many years and it gets so huge that I have to keep cutting it back. It stays green all year and the hummers are crazy for it. I always thought it was some kind of fuscia. ???

I always enjoy @Lilysmom pictures of the garden but it's also nice to see other joining in.  @twopeas  What is that reddish flower in the last photo.  Looks like something that tried to be a poinsettia but didn't quite make it.

@Lilysmom I think I figured out what the plant is. It's a Penstemon (Riding Hood). I have a yellow one that sends runners out also. I just bought a new small one this year and still have the tag. Forgot that it was like my large established one.

@Kachina624  LOL ! It's a bee balm. Very unique plant. Don't see them around the nurseries much.
