How is your garden blooming right now?

May is sure a floriferous month! I wish it could last a little longer. Your blooms are looking good and your images of them are great! I especially like the Tradescantia shot!
You take the most fantastic macro shots. Beautiful!
Your post has inspired me. I'll do a "what's blooming" post on my blog very soon.
All those flowers deserve their close-up shots. I really like the 9 bark. Not something I know. You seem to have weathered all that rough St Louis weather.
Lovely blooms! I agree about the Dianthus, I have one tiny plant in a stock tank that I catch of whiff of every time I walk by...it's divine!
Lovely macro shots. I love taking those close-ups!
What's this "blooming" you speak of? Our lilacs and crab apples just finished... No sign of the peonies yet. We're a good three to four weeks behind our normal blooming schedule.
Your pictures are gorgeous as usual!
The details of these blooms are amazing! Way to go!
