Frosted Salmon Poppies

The Frosted Salmon poppies began to open this past weekend.

 

 

Two days ago... 

Yesterday...

 

 

 ...and this morning!  They look like peonies, frilly and lush.  Very pretty.  (Click to enlarge pictures)

 

 

 

   Nasturtium.  These trail a lot and are lightly scented - a mild, sweet fragrance.  None of the kinds I've grown before have had such a nice scent.  It's hard to walk past it without stopping to enjoy.  I thought it was Little Firebirds, but I'm not seeing the mix of colours that variety is supposed to have.

Creeping Thyme

 

The sage loves this spot.

  (L-R)  Italian Flat-leaf parsley, oregano (mostly hidden), and marjoram.  There's a Swiss Giant pansy plant in there, too, but no flowers have opened on it yet.  Kale in the back, oregano in the white pot in the upper right-hand corner, and Indian Tea mint in the white pot in the lower right-hand corner.

   

   Tub of Herbs!  Mints in pots along the front.  French Lavender in a small, white pot on the left corner of the bathtub.  Swiss Giant pansies (only 1 small flower has opened thus far) throughout.  Pineapple sage in the large, black container to the right of the bathtub.

 

   The Galeux D'Eysines pumpkins are starting to develop.  I've managed to pollinate four so far.

   It has been a dreadful year for peppers, but this little jalapeno is putting out a few.

 

The Green Arrow peas, about 3.5 feet tall and putting out flowers.
