I found these at Bachman's and they are called superbells or calibrachoa. They need full sun and are supposed to last until the first hard frost.

Peony Buds
Can't wait for the peonies to bloom. I planted some during the late part of summer in 2012. Deb was getting rid of them and asked me if I wanted them. They came back in 2013 but no flowers. They're back again this year but I'm not seeing any buds. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The ones pictured above are on Warren's blooming boulevard. I remember when my family moved into the house on Stevens so many years ago. There must have been about 10 peony bushes lined up along where the driveway bordered the yard. I remember watching the ants crawl over the buds and, being so young and not in the know about such things, asked Mom why they were doing this. She said they actually helped the buds open and that there must be something on the buds they liked.
Iris
The irises are peaking here. We noticed they were peaking a couple weeks ago in Leavenworth when we went to visit Sam and Becky.
Orange Blossom
Found this beautiful orange blossom while walking Athena this morning. It was growing in a neighbor's sidewalk garden.
