Anybody know what it is?
Allium 'Molly' made her cheerful entrance last week.
I really enjoy the perky little yellow stars.
I am hoping to spend some time this weekend in the garden. All of the purple spring flowers have finished their time on stage. Now they are just ugly and need to be cut down. By next week there will another flush of color that will be totally different from the spring pastels.
Sorry I can't help you with the plant i.d. but I would like to say I just love the header photos-very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. I took those one spring morning a few years ago when I was out chasing butterflies in my bathroom. :) It was a pretty cold morning and I think that butterfly was too cold to move fast.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what the plant is but it sure is interesting looking. The allium is lovely and I like the Sedum blooms with the Hosta.

I thought it was interesting, too. I hope somebody can i.d. it for me.
DeleteHi Zoey, Your mystery plant might be perilla, which is from the mint family and can be rather aggressive. I'm not certain though. Have a great wknd!
ReplyDeleteI googled 'perilla' and I can see some similarities. The perilla leaves looked soft to me. The leaves on mine are very thick and rubbery...maybe it's just a plain old rubber plant with dark foliage???? Thanks so much for trying to i.d. if for me, Beth.
DeleteYour Molly alluim blooms look so pretty mixed in with the spiderwort.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a clue to your plant, sorry. It has some lovely foliage.
Hi Lona,
DeleteI do like spiderwort this time of the year. I just wish it would rebloom after it dies off and I cut it back. Mine never does.
Zoey- Is that a gloxania? Not sure of the spelling but it looks like something my Mom used to grow. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteDon't think so, Diana. These leaves are more thick and rubbery. Thanks for taking a shot, though. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens with it.
ReplyDeleteHi Zoey, I don't think I've ever seen your mystery plant before. I hope someone can identify it! I love all your contrasting colors in your garden - very striking!
