There aren’t too many things blooming in my yard right now, but I managed to find a few. And no echinacea this week!

The hostas in front of the house are all blooming. Such pretty little flowers.

The yarrow in the Bible Garden opened. These are  a light pink color.

The Purple Butterfly Bush has flowers open now. I posted the blossoms on the White Butterfly Bush last week.

Here’s a picture of the whole bush. This bush was a volunteer bush. It just showed up one summer. It started growing in the garden in front of the house (with the hostas). It did start growing about 10 feet or so away from the white butterfly bush, so I’m not sure if it grew from that one. Can a purple bush come from a white bush?

The Mimosa tree is blooming! The blossoms are usually fluffier than this, but it rained before I took the picture.

There are a lot of blossoms on the tree, this is just one section. This tree was started about 7ish years ago from a couple of little twigs that a friend gave me. She said to just stick them in the ground, and they would grow. And they did. I’ll try to remember to get a picture of the whole tree next week, as it’s really big and beautiful. Although, now, I wish I hadn’t planted it where I did. It’s on the end of the house with the Bible Garden, which I would like to expand to cover that whole end of the yard. And the tree is in the way.  But I don’t want to cut it down, either. So I just pretend it’s a palm tree. lol

Now I’m going to show you a picture that shouldn’t have happened. This is what happens when you take a peace lily, that has never seen the sun, and put it outside. sigh I put it on the front porch, where it got only a couple of hours of morning sun. I thought it would be ok. I should have known better. sigh So it’s now on the back porch, where it doesn’t get ANY sun.

I have a few things blooming this week. The Echinacea flowers are opening. I love the way these flowers open up. So interesting to watch their progress.

The Feverfew flowers look like dainty little daisies.

The Geranium that’s in a hanging pot on the back porch is blooming. So pretty!

The Hosta flowers in front of the house are opening.

Four roses on one bush.

This rose isn’t one on the bush in the above picture, but from the other rose bush in the Bible Garden.

The Echinicea are starting to open.

They are so different in how their flowers open. They don’t unfold like roses, the petals just grow out of the flower.

The Feverfew is blooming. I just love these little flowers. I think they are pretty to grow in a flower garden, not just in an herb garden.

This poor little geranium is looking a little bare. I trimmed it back before putting it outside for the summer.

It does have several bud clusters on it, though.

And the hostas in front of the house are sending forth their flower spikes. I probably should have seperated them this spring, as they are getting so big.

They have a very interesting looking bud.

I’m also linking to Weekend Warriors at It’s a Blog Party, so visit there for more gardens.

The roses in the Bible Garden are blooming and I’m so excited! I really should get more rose bushes. I only have these two in the Bible Garden. I have wild roses in the garden in front of the house, and all over the property, actually. It would be nice to get a few more rose bushes, though.

Here’s a picture of the one in full bloom.

Here’s a close-up of that rose. Isn’t it gorgeous?

And here’s the other bush. There is one rose just starting to open up, along with lots of buds. You can see 3 of the buds in this picture, but there are more can’t can’t be seen here.

And a close-up of the little rose.

The Day Lillies in the Bible Garden are still blooming.

I love it when all the flowers are blooming!

After nothing being in bloom last week it was nice to be able to take pictures of actual flowers this week.

The Day Lillies in the Bible Garden are blooming.

These lillies are so pretty! We had such a storm last night, that I’m actually surprised that these are still standing. The Hibiscus didn’t fare so well, they are laying down. Anyway, you can see rain drops on the flowers still.

The white wild rose bushes in front of the house already bloom, but the pink ones are blooming now. My husband found all these wild rose bushes and transplanted them into the garden in front of the house. We do have to keep them trimmed back as they grow wild. (pun intended haha)

Here’s a close up of one bush.

And a wide shot of the other one. Yeah, those are weeds. sigh…..

I wonder what will be blooming next week? Come back tomorrow for the Saturday on the Farm Carnival!

There aren’t many flowers blooming today. In fact, these two irises are the only flowers in full bloom. They are also the last two irises we will have this year.

The roses have several buds on them. I can’t wait for these to bloom!

The Delphiniums are just about open. These plants usually get tall, with the flower spikes often needing staking so they don’t fall over. But this year the plants are only about a foot tall, with the flower spikes only a few inches taller. I’m not sure what the problem is.

The Day Lilies have lots of buds on them. The one looks like it will be open tomorrow

These are wild roses that we transplanted to in front of the house.

And in the herb garden, the Purple Cone Flowers are forming buds.

Hopefully, when I take pictures next week, these will all be in full bloom.

Stop back by tomorrow for the Saturday on the Farm Carnival.
