Blooming today...

Some fun things are blooming in the garden today!

I can't figure out what this Echinacea seedling is trying to do. I have the standard purple, and one 'White Swan' which I've never been able to grow from seed. I do have seedlings coming up everywhere and I usually just leave them, birds feed on them all winter. i wonder if this one will be white, purple, green???

LOVE the salvia forskaohlei, can't pronounce it, but the flowers are an amazing bluish color that the camera doesn't capture very well.

I grew this eryngium from seed. Love the colors on it, but it can sure reach out and poke ya if you're not careful!

I got the yellow digitalis (?) from someone in a trade, and at first I didn't think it was even a foxglove. But the flowers are shaped the same as my regular foxgloves, just miniature and in yellow. Anyone know what this kind is?

Been waiting for Salvia argenta to bloom for two years, and I'm liking it! When not blooming, it's a mound of *incredibly* fuzzy gray/green leaves.

Almost forgot one of my favorites

Dierama pulcherrimum - Just gorgeous when hanging over a pond

All so pretty, Andi! I need to plant more variety in my yard. I'm sort of Hosta top-heavy.

Possibly digitalis ferruginea, lutea or lanata. I know I have seen it before but my poor fried brain isn't working. Must be the beach air!

Andi what very looing blooms! Maybe u are going to have a yellow coneflower like Annie has? Love the foxgloves too, wish I could grow them up here, had one survive only one winter. *sigh* I really love them too. Your flowers are very pretty!

Looks identical to most photos of digitalis lutea, so that's what I'm guessing it is.

The coneflower is interesting. I'll just have to wait and see what it does over the summer.
