You've got so many interesting plants in your garden, Ewa. That clematis makes me so curious - I want to see what that furry bud will turn into...
I wish you a great weekend among all your beautiful, blooming plants!

Beautiful blooms, Ewa! I love the dainty little pink and blue forget-me-nots, but the real showstopper is that electric blue lobelia. I've never had much luck keeping it over the summer, but I couldn't resist picking some up at the garden center once again. Maybe this will be the year it will grow for me:)

Lori Skoog said...

What a fabulous series of photos...not to mention the flowers.

Frances said...

Hi Ewa, the lobelia deserves that place of honor, what an intense blue! The whole combination in the container is fabulous! Azaleas always steal my heart too, that one is new to me. The peony looks promising, pink?

Happy Bloom Day Ewa! Your garden always inspires me. I love the centaurea montana - had them in previous gardens and just added a few teeny tiny babies last fall. I hope they manage to bloom this year. They've been chewed down to nothing by the rabbits once or twice, but they're tough and keep coming back.

That lobelia is gorgeous. I just love the blues! Everything else blooming in your garden is also just beautiful.

Naturegirl said...

Ewa truly a glorious variety of color and blooms in your May garden!
Love your colors..I fill my garden with blue pink and white!So many favorites in your post today but it's those pink and blue forget me nots that stole my heart! Happy Bloom Day!

Happy Bloom Day, Ewa! Lots of loveliness here, as usual! You're going to love your tree peony when it blooms! You'll have to post a picture of it when it does. :-)
