Your HF Young (previous post) is stunning, I have one as well but am lucky to get a handful of blooms. I'm going to give it time, but am running out of patience (planted in the summer of 2009).Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-58902464922194863362011-05-30T09:45:43.965-04:002011-05-30T09:45:43.965-04:00Sweetbay, Is there any wonder that the birds would...Sweetbay, Is there any wonder that the birds would sing all day in your garden!

I've been seeing a few new birds lately (at least to my garden) and it's so exciting. I wish I had a more mature landscape to attract even more. <br />ps I can't believe it's in the 90's there! Wow. We've had one 80 degree day and that's it. Mostly we sit in the 50's or lower 60's. Can't even seem to hit 70. Not summer-like at all but at least no tornadoes so I shouldn't complain, right?Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-48456332600636333542011-05-25T17:53:57.127-04:002011-05-25T17:53:57.127-04:00Sweetbay, I'm loving the soft, dreamy summer g...Sweetbay, I'm loving the soft, dreamy summer glow of your garden.

The woods are full of birds, but they are far enough away most of the time they are just silhouettes. <br />I love larkspur, they are such a great bloomer this time of year.

But when I looked at it the other day it had passed by and I thought the bloom time a rather short period. Nonetheless, I'll keep it.
