Sunday in the Garden, Two

This sweet, and tiny, ground cover has blue flowers.
 Blooming in my gardens today:
Hostas in white.

For the first time, a pink lace cap hydrangea.

Butterfly weed in the hill garden.

The ground cover roses in pink must have hundreds of buds.

This is a peach ground cover rose.
Also beginning to bloom are white coral bells.  These plants are in the garden mostly for the color variation in their leaves, the blooms are underwhelming.  I have several varieties of hosta, again mostly for the variation in leaf coloring, they are mostly white with an occasional lavender.  The lavender ones are only thinking about blooming, I'll try for a photo when they open up.

Love the peach ground cover rose but I doubt they'd do well in NE Iowa ~ so keep showing pictures of it.

You have a wonderful garden. Can we see a more "zoomed out" photo?

So lovely! The peach rose is so charming and a favourite colour. What a marvellous reward for all your hard work. Ann :-)
