Dont Overlook The Vignette

     I just realized that I have been so obsessed with just the individual flowers, that I have truly been overlooking the vignettes they create. That is awful to admit. Especially when i love it when gardeners photograph the entire plant along with close-ups so i can see how the plant grows for them, not just the individual flower. Cameron of Defining Your Home, Garden and Travel Blog  is fantastic at observing and taking pictures of  how plants look grouped together.  How could I overlook this in my own garden. This realization finally hit me when I was taking some photo's of the newest blooms in my garden. I had taken what i thought was my last shot, and started to walk away, when I noticed how beautiful the vignette below looked. I love the look of the white lacy flowers such as Baby's Breath intermingled with roses. However I dont have any baby's Breath as yet. I never thought of  Penstemon Husker's Red being a "lacy" type flower. But as I walked by I noticed these beautiful whitish, pink blushed flowers mingling in with the pretty pink Peony. I am going to be looking at my garden in a whole new way.

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day

    I believe this is my first time to participate in Garden Blogger's Bloom Day hosted by May Dream Gardens.  This seemed like lots of fun, and I know how much I enjoy seeing what everyone else has blooming. So this is my contribution. I hope you enjoy the show :)

Welcome to my garden. 

Climbing Peace....first blooms for Spring

My favorite Iris, growing near the pond.

My first ever Lupine blooms! Luckily I have lots more on coming.

Backside of an unknown clematis i am trying to get Id'd

Second season for blooms on this gorgeous red Peony. My camera doesnt show the true deep red it really is.

Unknown red rose bud growing at the base of the front porch.

The same red rose opened fully. Again the camera doesnt show the deep jewel tones of this red.

excuse this photo, blogger is screwing up and adding the bottom of another shot to this. This is a picture of my Spiderwort.

This is the first time I have seen this clematis bloom. Now i need to get it Id'd

 This beautiful, old whitish peony is probably my favorite. This shot was taken early this morning before it had a chance to full open.

The next shot shows it opened in full, taken just a few hours later.
