I'm happy that I found a few new plants to feature today. I was about to get bored with the same old blooms. Not that they aren't pretty by any means but it sure is nice to see new things.
I shared this one yesterday but I think it deserves a repeat. I'm proud of the Jean Marie Dahlia.
The bougainvilla is revisiting with some new blooms. I've never seen one as it was going into a bloom stage. It appears as if it is taking on new leaves and growth and then this. The blooms start out looking like leaves and are turning pink as they age. Neat.
Glad to see the milkweed blooming now. I've noticed some activity but not as much as it should be. But I expect it'll pick up soon.
I can't get enough of the geranium. I think the name is strawberry sherbet. Ya'll correct me if I'm wrong.
I have two shades of the butterfly weed. This one is more on the pink/fushia side. They are very hard to photograph.
While this one is more purple. It is blurry - sorry. The flowers in the background look nice this way though.
The marigolds are looking nice now. I gave everything a fresh shot of Miracle Gro Bloom Burst this weekend. I think bloom burst works pretty quick - perhaps within 36-48 hours. I noticed a big difference. You can see the nemesia behind the marigold taking on new blooms as well.
This is my first year to have the Shasta Daisy. They sure do get bigger than I thought. But they are so pretty. The plants are full of buds.
Today I'll be joining the following parties:
Ya'll head on over and check out these parties and see the other blooms gardeners are sharing today.
Hope you have a great day.

Suffia.
That dahlia is lovely. I hopme my milkweed makes it. Yours looks healthy.
I'm not usually a fan of geraniums, but that pink one is amazing!
Your flowers are sure providing lots of great color. Thanks for commenting on my blog and come on back - tomorrrow is garden day.
Super photos of your flowers today. I loved the geranium. I have lots of them in pots all throughout the summer, and they look wonderful!
Bougainvilla is one of my all time favourites we used to have many colours in S. Africa. I have not tried growing them here, think they would have to brought in over winter. Diane
You have lots of colour as usual! Is your butterfly weed what we call Budelia or butterfly bush,it looks a little like Lilac. it smells lovely and attracts so many butterflies./
The dahlia is very pretty and I love the color of your geraniums! I'll look for the Bloom Burst, the reg seems to make lots of green, not so many flowers:@)
Thanks for the visit - the beautiful old house in the header is where we are fortunate enough to live!
It came with cottage style gardens and lots of perenials, which I love.
Your blooms are beautiful and I am your newest follower, because I love gardening too. Just spent the afternoon out in the drizzle weeding and transplanting - perfect condition for both activities. Great fun!
Ooooo, I'm loving that geranium too! I've never seen a variegated one before. Really gorgeous!!!

Well, everything is just lovely, esp the Jean Marie Dahlia! So very pretty. And the milkweed is new to me...heard the name but have never seen it. Great post.
Beautiful! I have a butterfly bush/tree and I sure hope it blooms this year.

Those are some great looking flowers. We're still in our springtime here, with moss phlox, tulips and dogwoods blooming.
Beautiful colors! I love them all - thanks for sharing!
I also like the dahlia very much, but I must admit that I never get tired of seeing beautiful blossoms.
