I hope you are all enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are spending some time in the garden.

Today I thought I’d share with you what’s blooming in the Wilkes’ family garden.  Tomorrow I’ll share with you my how I went from being  a “pot of geraniums on the porch” kind of non-gardener to a having a garden that has been featured in the newspaper and in magazines!

But for right now - enjoy a peek into my garden.

A yellow ‘Happy Returns’ daylilly and  one of my favorite hardy geraniums ‘Johnson’s Blue’.  I love hardy geraniums and have quite a collection of different varieties.  I love them because they bloom and bloom and bloom!

Here’s another variety of hardy geraniums - Psilostemon

Isn’t this Princess Victoria Louise Poppy gorgeous in combination with the ‘Johnson’s Blue’ and ‘Wargrave Pink’ hardy geranium?

Our 37 rose bushes are just beginning to flower and the peonies are ready to burst.

I love how the rain drops form on the leaves of the  Alchemilla Mollis ‘Lady’s Mantle’  and the combination of it with the  Centhranthus Ruber ‘Red Valerian’

Here is a Tiarella ‘Crow’s Feather’, a Heuchera “Purple Petticoat” and a variegated hosta.

A variegated variety of columbine. 

A “Lime Rickey” heuchera in combination with a  variegated hosta.
