Day lilies
in greek means "beautiful for a day" because each bloom only lasts for one day. They are really starting to fill out.
Lamium, or more commonly called "dead nettle" is one of my favorites because it stays low to the ground. It's no more than about 6 inches high with variegated green and silver leaves.
Coleus have such colorful foliage in shades of green, pink and reds. But the one thing they don't like is too much water!

What a beautiful garden. I wish I had time to do more. Mostly, I stick to the easy stuff: http://anapronaday.blogspot.com/search/label/gardening

ReplyDeleteYour blooms are wonderful. My Dead Nettle blooms pink, but I also love the purple. You have a great garden. Hugs, RoseMarie
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! We've had lots of rain too. Love the day lily! Mine haven't started yet maybe once we get some sun! Jean
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I too wish the rain would go away for awhile...and take the mosquitoes with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat flowers. I really love your sign did you make it?
ReplyDeleteI hope the rain lets up but the flowers really look pretty in the photos.
ReplyDeleteColeus are one of my favorites. Pretty without much effort. Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteYour bloomers are always so pretty! Mine are a bit slow this summer due to all the rain and cloudy weather we have had. I think someone put the wrong tags in my Wave Petunias as they aren't spreading like they should be they are standing right up straight! Never had that happen before!
