Some 'Almost Summer' Posies

I didn't get to enjoy watching the beans grow last year since I planted them directly into the container outside... and summer was already in full swing, so I was busy else where. This year however I started some inside. The way they truely pop open & form leaves from the inside -- well that is just too cool! Here's what they've done so far.



Some outside plants to check out:
Lovage anyone? (left picture, in back)


Claudia -- the foxglove is growing strong & starting to bud. The seedlings I've started are doing well too!












Hello Spidey! (It's a spiderwort, would you rather 'worty'?)Do you notice as you're looking down past my plants all those purple flowers... That is my neighbors living wall, aka. a huge rhododendron! Isn't it massive?!? Makes me wonder how old it is... I think it's gorgeous. (There are even more, this is just one of them.)












I know it's a little sad looking, the leaves are disheveled, the flower lost a petal. There is still excitement & enjoyment to be found -- it is officially the first of the 2006 seedlings to bloom.
Ohh, ahh! (Share the love people!)
