dianthus and delphinium

two flowering perennials in my garden are blooming quite nicely this year, although neither has reached a full maturity in age.  for the second year, these flowers have shared their lovely blooms in june and add delightful color to my perennial beds. to protect the dianthus from the bunnies, i added a ring of green covered chicken wire at the base for an extra level of security, and so far, those plants that have been protected with the wire have survived the family of babies this year.  right next to the delphinium is planted a large group of pink hollyhocks which have never bloomed since the bunnies seem to find them every year before i can protect them.  they seem to be the first plants that they search out in the spring, while i am busy doing other work in the garden.  within the tuteur to the left of the delphinium are morning glories which are growing nicely from seeds, and should be vining soon.
