Bloomin' Tuesday...

Still have a few Poppies blooming. Susans, a garden staple.

Cosmos

Centaureas



Dahlia--some are shy and

some are not.

Zinnia

And my very first Heuchera bloom! Isn't she lovely? Don't have her special name in front of me right now, do you recognize her?




Thanks Jean at http://msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com for hosting Bloomin' Tuesday.


The Spring weather bringing tornadoes to so many areas is just heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been affected by them. We on the other hand are experiencing a drought. My car read 102 degrees yesterday.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Today I am Thankful that God really is in control.

Rosemary said...

Terrific flowers blooming in your garden. Think the lovely delicate bloom of the heuchera is my fav too.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Darla, Your flowers and all of the colors are all just gorgeous... My Mom used to grow both Zinnias and Dahlias... I have never grown either --but they are so pretty...

YES--let's pray for all of those who lost everything in the tornadoes. I will also pray for rain and less hot temps for YOU.

Don't miss my blog today.
Hugs,
Betsy

Beautiful blooms today Darla. Striking zinnias and love those dahlias.

GRACE PETERSON said...

Great blossoms, Darla Dear. I can't tell you the name of the Heuchera but she is indeed a lovely thing. I recognize that deep, pink color on the bachelor buttons. Very nice! I like the white one too though. And I love that first photo of the poppies. Just gorgeous!

NanaK said...

I always know I will get to see beautiful flowers here. Love those pink and white zinnias. Zinnias are one of my favorite summer flowers. The butterflies and hummingbirds that also love them are the reason I plant them every year.

Masha said...

You have so many blooms, they are all lovely. I love bachelor's buttons and your heuchera is very unusual, I am sorry I don't know its name. Thanks for the great pictures.

Yes the heat is back with a vengeance isn't it? Oh and I started listening to Gulf 104 when I moved here to go to FSU and it has always been my favorite station. Your husband has good taste in music!

Everything is beautiful as always! Love the Dahlia. I can't believe you have Susans already. Thanks for being such a faithful poster for Bloomin' Tuesday! Jean

Jean Campbell said...

The only poppies I have left are corn poppies, which look faded as soon as they open and California poppies.

Racquel said...

I'm with the majority, the bloom of that Heuchera is gorgeous! Sorry I can't ID it for you though...hope someone is able to help with that. :)

Jessica said...

Beautiful blooms as always~

Jessica said...

Woot! I finally got to leave a comment. I haven't been able to comment in days. =)

Dave@TheHomeGarden said...

That is a nice heuchera bloom but I can't say which one it might be. Most of them don't have very impressive flowers but I think they are trying to breed more for flowers recently. I need to plant more cosmos!

tina said...

Such a variety!

Kit Aerie-el said...

Beautiful blooms, Darla! I don't even try growing dahlias here because you're supposed to dig them up to overwinter them. My aka should be 'lazy gardener'.
Hope you are able to stay cool with the early summer heat!

Malar said...

You have many pretty flowers in your garden!

Spent flowers from the poly-headed sunflower species. That will promote more blooming. Also, plenty of space means abundance of sunshine for each plant. When lacking sun, sunflower stems grow frail; they might even collapse in effort to reach for the sun.
