Let's See What Bloomed - by Sunscape
![hivegarden-lilacs.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdN9BryNyhNVCVfbdQzhdcPHWH9zof4VL4UkbQRq18yf6/hivegarden-lilacs.jpg)

The last of the Lilac's opened in the past week and they put on a beautiful display, and they filled the yard with a beautiful fragrance.

The early morning sun really makes the Korean Lilac Bush pop in the shade garden.

I will certainly miss that wonderful fragrance wafting through the air.

The ants have been busily working all the buds on the various peony plants.  They have swelled a lot this past week and soon they will be in full bloom.


![hivegarden-flowers-peony.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYwo2qKGACLgZEFvMhNv2kwbuGbmvRVit1aGPYxjzaZuP/hivegarden-flowers-peony.jpg)

This Coral Peony is the first one to begin opening.  I ordered this special variety many years ago and it has finally grown into a decent sized plant.

This tree peony is the last one to bloom since it is in a shade location.  The petals will be falling off with the upcoming rainfall.  

![hivegarden-flowers-cornflower.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX12D2QcgALwqZheEn7KCdzGxJTw14yPT4EWkCcJAjv1P/hivegarden-flowers-cornflower.jpg)

The blue Cornflowers all opened, and I see that only one of the clumps survived the winter. 

![hivegarden-cornflower-1.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdptXD754BUkmaB5QpkFwtzzmhjqCarbxo8hPz1iMP7aH/hivegarden-cornflower-1.jpg)

Next to the Cornflowers, the Verbascum has put up a decent number of stems and the flowers are so dainty.

I don't remember the name of this Verbascum, but I do adore the shade of this flower.  

![hivegarden-verbascum-4.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmandNfXLoPTCWReSiW5NqMwTinb8Xy7KyWGoxXY6XSZwY/hivegarden-verbascum-4.jpg)

I wish I had some of these in the butterfly garden to grow along with the foxglove and delphiniums. I will have to save some of the seed to sow for next year.  

![hivegarden-verbascum-1.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTwdoysDKPSE7cVe6JXkhSzzDhrVrZXRpYdAHHujq2xNv/hivegarden-verbascum-1.jpg)

Off the top of my head, I don't remember if they are a biennial plant or not.  They sure are pretty either way and worth a spot in my gardens.

![hivegarden-iris.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbZaVo3hG6JFimSrEGMeXptEw53XdkteJU8XnbLinqgdn/hivegarden-iris.jpg)

The last bud opened on this dwarf Iris; I will have to wait to see you again next spring.

![hivegarden-ferns.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSRy9X9bNN1zAb8RARcKWHGP9VAHznxu1bNm2D7yY9ewQ/hivegarden-ferns.jpg)

All of the Hosta and ferns have fully opened around the porch.  I planted some Fushia Impatiens in between them all for some color.

![hivegarden-hosta.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcSJswvxKwF3nTKM71dSpna71bi5swHbHjDesBUpv2CSG/hivegarden-hosta.jpg)

It was a decent day to put down the bark mulch around the plants so that was one more task that got accomplished. 

![hivegarden-cherry-tomato.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeqcsHiYui8LAtZkr9JcAYQ7QDik6QQF7Ke8FFno5twq7/hivegarden-cherry-tomato.jpg)

The Italian Cherry Tomato has tripled in size, and I see flowers forming.  Before much longer I will be able to enjoy the fruit and the lettuce for lunch.


![hivegarden-cherry tomato.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTz6VWtDjKgdzEH96GjKmKXQXM2qBApydbkay1mmB18UY/hivegarden-cherry%20tomato.jpg)

Mika is inspecting the lettuce and deciding if she wants a leaf for herself.  She loves vegetable of all kinds and sneaks a snack her and there.  :-)


![hivegarden-lettuce.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmW3GRqLMuwySPJeS6Y32diZWfdsztP1sUAWGZCqYsPwoC/hivegarden-lettuce.jpg)

I have been trimming this red lettuce all week and I still have a lot to eat.  It keeps sending up more shoots from the center.  I will certainly be growing this variety every year.  I just have to find the name from my orders since I didn't take notes.  

![hivegarden-globe-allium-2.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUbZBz9kZGZ9Nfojtv3n4Z5jECC6J2v7p2BguTAKfrg5i/hivegarden-globe-allium-2.jpg)

Throughout all the gardens, these Allium bulbs are in full bloom.  

![hivegarden-globe-allium-15.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb7cMMJReUTNv1rJLckkcsC8hCVmUcvqApJdayaLTBKE1/hivegarden-globe-allium-15.jpg)

I love how they look like they have an Aura around them with the sunlight enhancing them.  I didn't realize how pretty the photos were until I uploaded them to the pc.

![hivegarden-herb-tower.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQzVDR5MAKqKk1jPsL4Cw8D9dZuZ6F2n9LRYurujQfhPX/hivegarden-herb-tower.jpg)

Both of the small tower gardens got harvested this week as the spinach was starting to bolt.  I got enough for four meals put into the freezer.  I have to say that I really love the Asian spinach with it's dark green and denser texture than the average type in this photo.

![feathered-friends-baby.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNhpYhws6z8oAzvPZ6ijgU9WnsooDKCJa83kpCRRvGyLX/feathered-friends-baby.jpg)

This baby Sparrow flew out of the nest while I was sitting on the porch, and it landed in the tower garden. How sweet is she sitting there looking out at a whole new world?

Lastly, this large Morrow's Honeysuckle has the most beautiful scent, and it looks so pretty on the back of the property.  I harvested a lot of the blossoms to make a tincture or balm with; not sure which yet but that will be an upcoming post soon. 

Thank you for stopping in for my weekly updates and walking with me to see what bloomed.  ♥
