Let's take a quick walkabout around my home and see what is blooming this week.
All the early spring flowers are done, and I've been trimming them back. Now it is time to fill those areas with annual flowers.
The Tradescancia is in full bloom, and the color is so vibrant. Then we have all the Allium Globe flowers in full bloom. They have shown up all over the yard. I decided to pull most of them out and discard them in the woods.

This is a Deutzia Magician shrub that will be taken out this fall. It is so old and is starting to rot at the base of the shrub. I'm going to really miss her sweet cascading flowers.

In the shade garden, the dwarf Iris are in bloom. This one is my favorite. I love the soft lavender with the blue beard.

Since I transplanted this iris two summers ago, it has tripled in size and is full of blooms this year.

This is Bumblebee, and I have no idea the orange one's name.


Next to the iris is this tree peony. The flowers are huge and so vibrant, it's just a shame that they don't last very long.

I did get this garden all weeded and ready for planting the flat of Impatiens. Once the Kousa Dogwood leafs out, this garden becomes full shade.

Now that I have that flat planted, I have to find places for the other flat. I am running out of room, lol.

I planted this tall Fuchsia in an urn-style planter along with these Nasturiums near the back porch. I will be able to pick the blossoms for salad pretty soon. I love the peppery taste of the blossoms.

Out front along the sidewalk, the White Peony is coming into full bloom. It is just lovely to see. It has become quite large over the years, and someday I will have to divide it to give the Phlox mor room, which is on each side of it.

A friend gave me this plant over 20 years ago. Her mother had it in her garden, then she transplanted it to her house when her mother passed. When she was diagnosed with cancer, she had my hubby dig it up so that I could have it in her memory.

Many other flowers are budding at the moment and getting ready to burst into bloom. I will do another walkabout soon. Thank you, @tattoodjay, for this fun, weekly #wednesdaywalk posting community. Enjoy the wonderful weather, everyone!


Very nice picture 👍
I'm not sure my Tradescancia survived this year. And the giant alliums were hard hit by the heat last week.I'm so envious your flowerbeds are cleaned out and planted! I'm a long way from being able to do that yet.
Well, I know you have tons more to do than I. You will get there. Today, we are putting down mulch if it stops raining. lol
