      We’re in Canada in a charming little town called Niagara on the Lake. Six block downtown area is lined with flowers on both sides of the street; pots, planters, you name it.

      Beautiful!

          Empress Wu Hosta. It's huge! I dare say about 5 feet tall.

          Although it doesn't flower, the ferns next to the Hosta are just as big.

          I don't have many Foxgloves this year. Only a few plants scattered about the yard. (But I have more Hollyhocks than ever before! Looking forward to them blossoming, one of my favorites.)

              @RealPlayer Point at it with a stern expression and exclaim with authority, "Tarra, gone!" 😉

              Sorry, RP, I can't help.

                      I've seen those opuntias in the sandy soils of East Hampton, New York, by the beach. Flowering too. What an unexpected treat!

                        I think nopales are the "leaves" (maybe they are called "pads") rather than a fruit.

                            You can eat both the pads and the fruit…if you get fruit. I think the fruits may be pretty small in these eastern species.

                                My Wisteria is blossoming. I planted a twig of a plant about 4 years ago. It's reached the top of the gazebo and I've got blossoms.

                                  How about no bloom scrolling?

                                  Deer at all of the flowers and buds off of my daylilies. They even ate the ones I brought home in my suitcase after I visited Lilylady. The fancy double yellow ones.

                                    @Steve-Miller Oh, no! How disappointing. I know the feeling... I've had orchids put out buds only to find they'd been eaten by mice!

                                      Despite the set back over the winter, the roses are blossoming. In fact, they've made a pretty good come back. The one that lost it's long canes is growing new ones at a great pace. The one that was all gone except for one stem that I subsequently, accidently strimmed off has put up a new shoot! So I it looks like I get a second (at this point it's more like 10th!) attempt to protect them next winter.

                                      The bush that was taken for a goner:
                                      722.JPG

                                      A flower and bud on the one that lost it's tall canes:
                                      723.JPG

                                      New canes growing:
                                      724.JPG

                                      The trusty yellows and red/magenta ones:
                                      725.JPG

                                      This one hasn't blossomed in years. It was in an area that got invaded with Bishop's Weed:
                                      728.JPG

                                        Other blossoms at the minute:

                                        I bought this Sedum for the color of it's blooms. A bit of salvia on the right.
                                        721.JPG

                                        If anyone can identify this pink and white flowering plant, I'd love to know what it is:
                                        727.JPG
                                        Close up:
                                        734.JPG

                                        Clematis:
                                        729.JPG

                                        I transplanted this Geranium while it was in bud from an area infested with Bishop's Weed. It looked pretty sorry for a few days but it's perked up nicely. It's my favorite one for the color:
                                        733.JPG

                                        Another Geranium that had got lost in the weeds:
                                        730.JPG

                                          An overview of the front garden. I'm going for a cottage garden feel, may eventually introduce a picket fence.
