Nice...are Scabiosas and Bachelor Buttons the exact same plant? I was thinking a Cornflower & teh Bachelor Buttons were the same too???--so perhaps the Scabiosas are in that family too???

Here is one I almost missed. I have a hard time keeping glads because the voles/moles like them.

From what I've been told they will. I heard rabbits love lilies. I'll be finding out shortly since I planted one in the driveway bed.
I'm trying to surround my tulips, crocuses, glads and anything else that is bulb-like with daffodils. I've heard that most pests don't like daffodils or alliums for that matter.
So far I've surrounded one bed and it has protected the tulips that are planted there.

I'm worried about that. I know the rabbits can manage to go right around the allium to get to the dusty millers.
I bought some mesh to make boxes with, but it just seems so hard that I haven't even started making them.

Pretty flowers Carol! I like your ROS - it has so many buds on it. You said you missed the first blooms - mine have always only bloomed one each season?

WONDERFUL Tamara !!! simply beautiful !!! I am esp fond of the pink & the white & deep pink. I think Rodney Is going to have to OK me having another flower bed... * he says he has to OK such things as he is the one that mows around them* Lynne: What I meant was I missed the very first bloom of this year of particular bush. we bought it new this spring. sorry I was not clear.

Sometimes blooms are prettier on the table than in the garden, I couldn't resist cutting this one stalk to take in, I added some astilbe leaves.

I'm not sure what these petunia type blooms are. They volunteer each year and smell wonderful. I usually only have white but this year some are lavender. I thought they were million bells but the plant nursery lady told me I was wrong and she has no idea what they're called and that they shouldn't reseed themselves. Oh well.
