My yellow baptisia is blooming!
The columbine are happy!
I just forgot the names of these beauties.
Spiderwort
The pots are planted in the staging area and ready to move to my deck and other areas of the garden.
These candle holders I was given by a friend for my Birthday last month. They are from Crate and Barrell. I found the battery- operated candles from Restoration Hardware. Their candles are probably the best on the market...as far as looking realistic. They have real wax ones for the indoors. I think these outdoor ones are a good idea since regular candles blow out so quickly. 100 hours of battery life and you can turn them on and off.
Mexican Primrose.
I love your garden posts. Keep them coming!

Hi Ted,
I think the pink ones are Missouri (not Mexican) Primrose and can be really invasive, though so charming. They are native as are their yellow cousins. I also have trouble keeping Spiderwort in its place.

I am surprised I forgot their name. Thank you for reminding me!
I am one of these gardeners who like invasive things!

primrose are easy to confuse, but trust me on this. Mexican = evening primrose= pink. Missouri= yellow.
I have spiderwort popping up in the strangest of places, usually through the bricks in the sidewalk. It does look nice with roses.
