Grarden flower pics - what's blooming?

[kroppe]

Let's see some of your garden flower photos. What's blooming? In addition to the hydrangea photos I posted, here are a few others. This one is celosia, a nice annual. These are in containers. The main bloom is about 8-10" tall. This particular specis is celosia plumosa, with wheat-staff type flowers. Many people know this flower as cock's comb, the version which has an articulated, curly type of flower.

Here is a climbing rose. This is one of the better blooms, unfortunately the Japanese beetles have been getting to them. The spring bloom (Mother's Day time) is the best. I'm lucky to have any flowers at all this time of year. Last year the beetles really did a number on them in July and August.

Nice pictures, Kroppe.

It's not a flower but I love the look of caladiums so I snapped this pic a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to take some more of some of the flowering plants.

Great pic Sarah! Are caladiums a type of ground cover or are they more of a vertical plant? Very nice!

I have some tiger lillies starting to bloom, will post pics in about a week.
