This time of year there are lots of things in bloom.  There are some pretty Bearded Iris plants in a flowerbed in the front yard.  They were planted before we ever moved here.

In one of the flower beds in front of the house, there are still azaleas blooming.  In the same flowerbed, I have some Cranesbill.  I  have a couple of different varieites.  One is a pale pink with darker pink stamens.

The flowers are so delicate, it kind of gets lost as a single specimen. I think it would be much prettier if there were masses of the same plant with flowers blooming all at once.

I like purple flowers and I think pink and purple look good together. so nearby is some Blue Sage that is dark purple.

There are also several Coral Bell plants to provide more pink color.

There are even some daylilies starting to bloom now.

I like the combination of roses with clematis growing through them. I took this picture one evening.

Oooh! So pretty! Those coral bells are just lovely! I like pink and purple flowers, too.
