Dusty Miller and Alyssum

Clematis in a Dogwood Tree
How did I get a solid pink on this Clematis on the lattice?
Larkspur is beginning to bloom. In the back that big plant is Monarda.
Soon, very soon I will have big beautiful Dahlias!

Across the drive is the Full Sun Garden

More Cosmos in front of the Sheffield Mums, left is the Mexican Bush Sage, Alyssum and in the container are Carnations started from seed.
Today I take my Dad to his first follow up visit from his hospital stay...and today I am Thankful that he is letting me take him!

Nice! I still need to get cosmos planted. I have some in pots and others I do from seed. I'm glad I waited or the seed would have just washed away.
Darla your gardens look so pretty! Love the determination of your hubbie wanting to grill. Sometimes you just got to do it no matter what.
Good morning, Darla. I like they way you have the dusty miller paired with alyssum. Love those cosmos, I hope mine do well this year.

I love your Clematis. What fun colors!
Knew the hubbie would get you the gold. Your flowers are looking so good this morning. Hope all will be well with your Dad.

love the header...great dedication...your garden is lovely..
Your dad is still in my prayers. Glad he is going for a follow up and that you are taking him. I love the full view of your gardens. They are so inspiring. Love the cosmos. Hope my larkspur does something this year. You have so much color already. Can't wait to see your dahlias.
Grilling with an umbrella? Too cute!
Beautiful Clematis! I am glad to hear that your dad has consented to go to the doctor.
Good luck today with your Dad.
Such lovely flowers!...it tries my patience, as my dahlias are just peeking out of the soil (in pots) and wont go out in the garden for a month or so...
Your garden looks so beautiful! I envy that you can grow dahlias! Are those dinner-plate size? Hmm, I wonder if I should at least try next year in my zone 10 garden. Do you think it could survive? I do see some claims they can be grown in zone 10. That Dusty Miller leave looks very nice. Love the texture of the leaves.
It's just looking so pretty in your garden. I love that Clematis in the Dogwood. I'm anxious for it to warm up so I can work in my garden soon.
Great header pic!
You sure have some beautiful plant choices. I love the clemantis. Cute header picture.
I love the gravel in your gardens. Very pretty blooms, maybe that solid Clemmie is another plant? Weird. :) Thanks for sending me another Walking Iris, you're the best. :)
Your yard is just astounding!!! So happy your Dad is getting back for his check up and you are going with him! Yeah!!!!! Best wishes still for his continued recovery!
I was planning on skipping on the dahlias this year so that I have room for more milkweed and other things, and on cosmos, because they take forever to bloom for me, and sometimes get leggy. After seeing yours, I may have to find a spot for them.
Your other blooms and foliage are looking nice and colorful, too. I wonder what's up with that clematis.
Darla
Absolutely beautiful flowers, and that first pic is really nice.
Hi Darla, I really like...well, I like all your photos but the soft pink cosmos photos are my favorites. From afar, I'm anticipating your dahlia blossom. Looks like a stunner.
I love the clematis and one of these days I'm gonna have one just like yours!
So glad your Dad let you take him for the follow-up visit.
I hope all went well!
