Where are the blooms?

I have been waiting and waiting for my poppies, lupines, and columbines to bloom... but I don't think it's going to happen. Maybe I started them too late? I've also read that maybe the columbines may not be getting enough sun. I don't know what the problem is, but it is pretty sad. They keep growing and growing, but there is no sign of blooms.

Huge columbine, no bloom!

I have had lots of pretty flowers, though. I have no shortage of plants!

Some daisies I got on sale at Lowe's for $1 each!

Huge hosta! I am going to need to figure out how to divide this this fall.

The best news is the zinnias are blooming like crazy! They are also getting huge. I think I planted too many in this garden.

Out of control!

One of the Giants. This is the biggest bloom I've had so far!

The stem is bent like this because the whole plant fell over after a storm. Then the stem started growing vertically. Then I staked it, and it started growing vertically again.

Zinnia Blooms

These are pictures of some zinnia blooms. Not much else has been happening with my gardening.

 

Lillies!

I have been waiting forever for my zinnias to bloom. Finally, they have started! Hopefully the blooms will get much bigger than this.

The zinnia garden- the plants are getting taller, and most importantly, still alive!

Also, many more perrenials have been blooming. I have tons of lillies in the front gardens. I love them! 

Tons of lillies!

They are pretty crowded right now, so I am planning on splitting them up in the fall. My snapdragons and delphiniums are getting close to being big enough to plant outside, and I am also planning on buying some more flowers to complete the front garden. The poppies are not doing so well, and I need something to fill in the space!
