More Flowers From Our Garden

The perennial garden is really blooming well this year and I can't help but show you some more flowers. I even have two mystery flowers that I would like you to help me identify, along with a pretty butterfly that landed on the chives the other day.


Columbine


Mystery Yellow Flower



Mystery Blue Bulb


Mystery Butterfly

hi
try this website,I think it's a black swallowtail...what do you think?
Know zilch about the perennials but there are lots of sites. Didn't know where to begin. They are pretty though, and I love the columbine.

Loverly pictures. I think the blue mystery flower is called a bluebell out here. Has little bulbs and spreads rapidly.

Google English Bluebells, Spanish Bluebells and Wood Hyacinth. I think that's what you have.

After some investigation, I believe that the blue flower is either Spanish bluebells (also called Wood Hyacinth and scilla campanula) or Lavender mountain lilies.
The yellow flower (also pink ones blooming now) is definitely Mountain Bells (a type of allium).
