Rock Garden Reds

The Dianthus 'Brilliant' from the old rock garden started blooming today. Most of it is this deep rose-red color.

Some of the same plant isn't as deep a red. No idea why. And so far, none of the white 'Arctic Fire' has showed up this year. Had some in 2024. I was gone last year, so I don't know if they bloomed.

And this is the Dianthus 'Eastern Star.'

I also discovered that some of the 'Red Mountain Flame' Ice Plant are opening. The Ice Plants don't seem to like my rock hill. But it's alive.

It has been hot and muggy miserable today. We are supposed to get thunderstorms tonight and the next couple of days. That's probably OK. I need to seriously get busy on some overdue project needs. I actually started working on one of those today in addition to editing. Spent about an hour on it. Not nearly enough, but getting started is often the hardest part for me.

And I figured out why the last plant I ordered hasn't arrived... I forgot to push the order button. haha. Now it's on it's way.
