Fancy Flowers in June

These are my flowers that are healthy and blooming right now in my gardens.

From Cindy or Cora's Garden this year.  I think I photographed this Bellflower a little past it's peak.  I swore I had a bunch of these - but I only have 1 in bloom.  But it snuck up in the middle of another plant that Cindy or Cora had given me...so I'm really not sure.  I moved it to the North Fence after I read that they spread.  I would like them in small clusters along the fence line.  This involves more waiting....

Clustered BellFlower

From Cindy or Cora's garden last year.
I had a bunch of these little things pop up this Spring!  I moved some behind the Hosta row, hoping they would bloom before the Hostas grew too big.  Just a few came in and they were behind the younger plants, I also gave a few to Amy.  I really like that they aren't very tall or leggy.

Buttercup

 Both of these are from an annual hanging pot (from  last year).  I'm wondering if I cut these they will be more mound like for me.  I love the brilliance of the flowers and the long bloom times, but they are a bit leggy.  Suggestions?

Dianthus

 This Clematis was purchased at a hardware store last year....doing better this year with bigger flowers and more of them. But the plant is not even 1/2 way up the trellis.  I know, I know....it's only the first week of June.  These flower start out Velvet purple then mature to a mid-blue.  Supposed to bloom from May - September.

Chevalier Clematis

 From Amy's Garden.  I don't know the different types of Astilbe's, but I'm very happy with the delicate coloring.  I would like to surround these with Evening Primrose, but they don't seem to be doing well for me right now.  Maybe too much clay in my soil?

I bought 2 small Columbine plants at the Garden Show early this Spring at the Fair Grounds.  It has bloomed all Spring and still going in July!

When we moved here there were 2 Stella Dora Lily plants along the front sidewalk.  I left them there for years.  Last year they got very big and began to encroach onto the walkway, so I divided them, rather aggressively late this Spring.  I made a border with all the new starts.  The original plant has blooms and just a few of the starts.  I think the others are still in shock.  I will post a photo of them when they look a little better.  I read to dig them up and, from the root, make sure you have 2 to 3 good .... nodules or root balls for the section you are going to replant.
