I decided to post all the photos in a make shift gallery. Each photo can be clicked on to view full size.

Egyptian walking onion, Clary sage, Feverfew
The Egyptian walking onion is one of the strangest looking plants I have in the herb garden right now! My kids sure think it is cool though. I started my Clary sage from seed last year and have anxiously awaited its blooms all Spring. It has not disappointed either! I love the little Feverfew flowers. They are very sweet and almost dainty like with their lacey foliage.

I planted this Yarrow in the ground last year as I used to have it growing in a container. It has really enjoyed its new location and is just starting to come into full bloom. So pretty! I am very excited to see blooms on my bell pepper. This one is growing in a container on my deck where it can soak up all the heat and sun it wants.
Bottom, left to right:
Queen Anne’s Lace, Cosmos and Chamomile, Rosenwein salvia
I have let a few Queen Anne’s Lace come up in the herb garden this year. The flowers are so pretty and the plant does a good job at attracting beneficial insects. They are just getting ready to bloom. My Cosmos have returned and are starting to bloom in and around the patches of Chamomile. This Rosenwein salvia is growing in a container on my deck where I can enjoy its beautiful purple spikes.
It is always fun to see what everyone across the globe has blooming in and around their garden. I am happy I finally remembered to participate! Be sure to visit Carol at May Dreams Gardens to see even more blooms.
Love the Queen Anne’s Lace. Don’t know why it didn’t reseed for me.
Hi Victoria, Queen Anne’s Lace grows wild all around where I live. I really do not even need to grow it to enjoy it but I decided to let a few come up in the garden this year to help attract the beneficial insects. Hopefully I will not regret it next year!
Glad you joined the GBBD fun this time, Cynthia! Love all the little delicate flowers you have going on, very meadow-like. I always get feverfew and chamomile mixed up, their flowers look so similar! Are you going to have a cosmos forest again this summer?
Happy Bloom Day!
Hi Karen, I’m afraid the cosmos forest is history. Thanks to the rain not being quite so relentless this spring I was able to get out and thin all those volunteer seedlings. If I had not done that there would most definitely be another cosmos forest this year. I have reclaimed my herb garden!!
Your pics look like they could have been from my yard…lol. Great minds think alike. But the Egyptian walking onion is very cool. That I don’t have….yet!
Hi Brooke, The Egyptian Walking Onion is a plant I have wanted to grow for years now. Back in May my local Master Gardeners had a plant sale and I was able to pick up a gallon size container for only a dollar! I did the happy dance all the way home that day.
I like the way you did your gallery. You have a lovely set of blooms there! The summer sure is going by quickly. I love this time of year, but need to get some house cleaning done so I can enjoy it more.
