My Variegated Yellow Loosestrife bloomed less than two months after planting.
Four Japanese Andromeda, Pieris japonica that line my front sidewalk explode with color and flowers every spring.
These are the first blooms of Red-Edge Hebe. I planted it six years ago.

8. (tie) With 104 views this Lavender Mist Meadow Rue debuted Dec. 17. This is one my favorite photos, as I was able to focus tightly in the middle flowers so blooms in the foreground and background are slightly blurred. Yes, I can be a photo nerd. It’s easier to shoot these flower because they’re about seven feet tall.
Pulmonaria saccharata throws out these cute spring bells. This perennial thrives in two tough spots in the front and back. Flowers are followed by unique spotted foliage for summer. Pulmonaria’s minus is the plant will mold up and die in early fall after a dry summer

The Beacon Hill Gardener is proud of the beautiful color in her backyard.

11. With 103 views, this Checkered Lily appeared April 5. I learned in Sweden they cal it Kungsängslilja “King’s meadow Lily.” Thanks Liz Almgren for that tidbit.
Astrantia means star in Greek. The plant is a member of the Parsley family.
Two Fuschia starts cost me 85 cents each at Home Depot. They’re already producing these gorgeous blooms thanks to a warmer than usual spring.
