Nasturtium 'Tip Top Alaska Red'

 

I decided to plant a new variety of nasturtium this year.  I got the seeds from Select Seeds. They are growing amongst some white and purple Alyssum. I'm pretty pleased with this combo.

It's always exciting when the first poppies of the season bloom.  Today I woke up to this beauty.

Kelly's Path

I dedicated this part of my garden to my friend Kelly a few years ago.The blindingly bright Golden Oregano, I know, would bring a smile to her face, if she were here. I think of her every time  I walk down this path.

Tulipa clusiana var. Tubergens Gem

The little Tulips blooming amongst the Sedum and Golden Oregano is a species Tulip.  I love how the red pops with the green and gold.
