soooooo beautiful!

I have some of those and I do not think they are blue bells, which are much shorter. I have both purplish and white. I love them both.

Is it possible the bell flowers cross pollinated with others and some white ones resulted?

These aren't bluebells, but blue bell-flowers (Campanula)

It's very strange, they are in separate beds on opposite sides of the yard. One was a purplish blue, the other was light blue but Now, they are both white. Still pretty, but....odd.

Yes, just wish they lasted longer.

No, the beauty bush does not get berries, and we are in zone 5. Did not notice where you live, I get lots of sucker each year, some I have dug up and replanted. Don't know how they would ship.

It was Feb when we moved in and my DFL told us to cut it down, it was dead. It has peeling bark so I can understand why he thought that.

pic # 2 & 3 misc from different spots in the yard.

I don't have alot of flowers, but do have alot of beds, when various leafy plants and about 30 varities of hosta's.

What are the flowers in your #2 picture? They look like peonies maybe?

Ya I knew they were something else but no idea what. I love them because if you deadhead them they bloom all summer.

thanks for the name which I will promptly forget.

I only remember because I keep a journal as I plant them!

Grandma58 06-11-2011 07:02 PM

I would forget where I put the journal or which flower I was talking about. I like the idea of a journal of flowers though -
