Bloomin' Tuesday!

Today I'm joining MsGreen Thumb Jean for Bloomin' Tuesday, and I'll show you what's blooming in our yard this week.

Peonies! There are white, pink, and fuchsia peonies blooming now, and these bright fuchsia ones shown below are my favorites:

These peonies are planted along our driveway--a little spraddled from rain we've had recently. In fact, today is a rainy and thundering morning--I'm glad these pictures were taken last evening. You can also see some of the white Siberian iris across the road (top right in the picture below):

Here are the white Siberian iris in a closer shot:

The clematis is blooming by the bird feeder near the front door:

If anyone knows the name of the yellow flowers blooming below the clematis, I'd love to know. Actually, I knew when I planted them...I should have put a plant marker there to remind me. Here's a closer photo below in front of the azaleas:

The yellow and purple irises are also blooming. What would you do if you were the only yellow in a sea of purple? [Note to self: paint dinner bell post this spring.]

There are more yellow irises here:

There's also columbine, spiderwort, and dianthus blooming...I'll save those for next week. There are other flower gardeners all over the US who are showing their blooms...check them out over at MsGreen Thumb Jean's.

Deb,

If you ever run out of room to plant flowers in your yard, you are more than welcome to come and plant in mine. :) Your yard is gorgeous, and I love those irises!

Hi Deb,
Your flowers are simply beautiful. I bet your driveway is so pretty to drive up and I love your variegated clematis' color.
Could those yellow flowers be "coreopsis"? I've got some coreopsis in my front island and it looks similar though hard to tell. Now I'll look closer at it next time I'm out!!
Thank you for sharing your flower photos with us.

Beautiful clematis, iris and peony. I would paint the post yellow to match the one yellow one there.

Thank you for the inspiration...I was on the way out the door to mulch one of my flower gardens but thought I'd read your blog first. Glad I did! As usual, I love all the flowers and especially the neatness of your gardens. Soothing to my soul. Thanks for all your hard work.

Deb, all the flowers are just beautiful! Your peonies are especially beautiful. I haven't planted mine yet. C and A gave me one for Mother's Day, still trying to decide where to put it. Well the voles have eaten my verbena now! I just can't seem to get those critters to leave my yard! LOL

WOW, I can almost smell the aroma of spring from the flower pictures.

How beautiful! Thank you Deb! We have few flowers in our garden now in autumn but across the world all is blooming.

Beautiful flowers. You ladies are so diligent, and your rewards are apparent. I always love seeing your bell. One of these days, I may splurge and order one from Lehman's. Still hoping I may find one at a tag sale for much less money though ;o)

Your flowers are so beautiful! I don't have a green thumb, but after 6 months of Alaskan winter, I am loving our green. I'm inspired, but also realistic about my abilities. . .
