jeez; do you start on Monday watering and end up on Sunday finishing up??? Lots of beauties! Is that a Japanese lilac? I started one from seed two years ago; hope I'm around when it blooms like yours! And the cannas are gorgeous! Nice spread you got there, Gemma!

@Gemma Boy you have so many beautiful plants!
Must keep you really busy making them looks so nice

Thanks!
I have two Japanese Lilac, but you can't see neither one in these pics, what you see is a mini crab, and the white flowering one is a Pink Diamond Hydrangea , one of my favorite (I have 4) cause it is so easy to maintain and the bloom last forever, until I prune it the following Spring to be exact.

This is a Jack Frost I bought to try out last year. I believe it only blooms in the Spring and then just grows these beautiful silver dusted heart shaped leaves...I love that the plant doesn't look weedy in between blooming like my Forgetmenot did, but I'm keeping a close eye on it, in case it turns out to be another invasive nightmare
Anyone know this plant?

Never heard of it but it is quite pretty and if the leaves stay like that all Summer that's a plus! I have Forget Me Not's too and they look ragged after they get done blooming. I get lazy and don't go all around and cut them off tho. Oh well!

I'm pretty sure I have this plant, but the flowers are yellow. Leaves look very similar. I've never actually looked up MY version--came from my mom's garden decades ago and I just let it grow around one of my large maples; ah, okay, just ran out and took a couple pics and I don't think it's the same plant anymore...

I think after it's done blooming it just grows leaves in a mounded form, we'll see

Close, but no cigar!
