The magenta hardy gladiolus byzantinus is beginning its one-week-a-year blooming, with some bicolor iris in front of it and society garlic and victoria salvia in the foreground.

I recently bought this flower because of its unusual green-yellow color that almost matches the window trim, but I forgot what it is. (Edited 9 p.m.): It's a Lime Green Nicotiana alata. Thanks to Annie at the Transplantable Rose for identifying it!
mexican bush sage
lots of lantana
hybrid verbena
bicolor iris and hardy gladiolus byzantinus
calendula in the veggie bed
Also blooming now are purple and white ruellia, gaura, mexican heather, indigo spires salvia, turk's cap, trailing lantana, dwarf pomegranate, and mexican honeysuckle.

Very beautiful. I started some balloon flowers from seed they are growing will, just can't wait to see them bloom!!
love the pics. your 'unknown' is intriguing, too. cool color of the blooms . wonder what it is???
Oh, you austin gardeners have all the pretty stuff! I surely enjoyed my visit here today.
You really do have the blues! That S. leucantha is really blooming early this year.
Not only pretty but all your flowers harmonize with each other and with the new house colors. Very cool, Iris!
Could the new flower be Lime Green Nicotiana alata?
Happy Blooming Day!

Yes! That's it! I knew I would recognize the name if I saw it. The tag at the nursery (but not on my particular plant) just said "nicotiana". Thanks, Annie!
The society garlic is lovely. I really like it, you've convinced me that I need to try it in my garden.
I am determined to get organized for a GBBD soon - but while the oak pollen is heavy it just won't happen. Thanks for sharing your beautiful blooms.
Iris, sorry it took so long for me to visit! Your purple blooms are awesome, as always. I would love to see a shot of the whole enchilada - the purple blooms in front of your new purple house. Are you loving your new color scheme? It looks great in photos.
Lovely bloom day post, Iris. I bet your new house colors look great against the cool blues and pale purples of your garden.
What gorgeous photos! I tripped over your blog accidentally and it has made my day! Thank you!
