Julia Child and May Night

Sounds important, right? In reality they are just two of my favorite new plants. You have already met Julia but plan to see her a lot. She is in full bloom right now and is totally gorgeous. 
Salvia nemorosa 'Mainnacht', or May Night Salvia is just coming into bloom. 

I love the purple and yellow combo! This pairing is in our soon-to-be expanded front bed. It's one of those you-buy-too-many-plants-and-steal-some-more-of-your-husband's-precious-yard-things...you know how it is, or maybe not.

View from the soon-to-be front of the bed. We are planning to put a sidewalk from the front door to the driveway and that will be the bed border. It's also what I am asking my hubby to get me for my birthday. Too bad my birthday isn't until August!

{mostly} Wordless Wednesday: What's growing?

Variegated Ginger Lily, Alpinia zerumbet, 'Variegata'
Mountain Snow Pieris, Pieris japonica 'Mountain Snow'

Mystery Hydrangea from a local flea market. We will see what it is once it blooms!

Bower Vine, Pandorea jasminoides (she lives in a pot and comes in the winter)
My precious new garden addition, the sweet 'Julia Child' rose. Older blooms lighten to a pale yellow.
Newly opened 'Julia Child' bloom. The fragrance is incredible.
