Sweet William

I love the progression of flowers in my gardens. It seems like there is something new everyday as we approach summertime. The diversity of Sweet William flowers is lovely. This was the first variety to appear in my gardens and it is in the center stump garden.

The second Sweet William variety to appear was this white one that exists without the pink lines. This seems to be my most prolific Sweet William. This one is in the sunny garden to the north of the front stairs.

I had to wait a few extra days for this third variety of red Sweet William to appear. I knew that there should be several of these plants as I remember planting it from a cutting of my next door neighbor about 15 years ago. This one is in the center stump garden as well.

I love this stunning variety with its pink center, surrounded by deep red, and fringed with white. It really stands out in the garden.

This pretty in pink variety is one that I just bought at a nursery. Those cute little leaves in the upper left belong to Meadow Rue which I have to separate out before I plant the Sweet William.
