Last week I purchased several plants from my favorite plant vendor, Jan, at my local farmers market. Jan's plants are always healthy and she brings many old fashioned perennials and herbs. My purchases included Chamomile, Datura, Sweet Annie, Hellebore, Rosemary, and two orange-flowered, unlabeled plants that were on sale. I'm running out of space for new plants so I needed to get rid of some invasive Bell Flowers to make room for some of the newbies. I planted the Chamomile and Rosemary in the herb garden after digging out some pesky Purslane.
My summer bulbs, which are mostly in containers, are beginning to bloom and I'm looking forward to the fantastic show they will present over the remainder of the growing season. I repotted most of the bulbs in the spring, nothing was labelled. I like surprises!
The Morning Glories have started to bloom, so most days begin with a stroll around the garden, coffee cup in hand.

So beautiful. I love flowers. Too bad I kill them. I have the opposite of a green thumb.
I think the pink bell flower in your photo is actually a brugmansia. Datura have a trumpeting up flower and brugmansia have hanging bells. Botanists have nothing better to do than go through the plant books and decide to rename things.
The plant in the picture is brugmansia, I guess I should have added a label.
Thanks for commenting.
