Memorial Day Weekend

It was rainy and the parade was canceled.  The garden continued to create moments right through the rain and cold.

Only one Bleeding Heart bloom.

I should move it out from under the deck for more light...

The 'Miss Kim' Korean Lilac is exuberant this year.

It has struggled for years.

The Lady's Mantle always looks its best on a rainy day.

The old-fashioned yellow Iris

and the False Indigo

are blooming 

from the buds 

featured a week ago.

I put the fairy garden items out

but the girls can re-arrange them 

however they want.

It's their secret garden!

I planted up the third container with yellows

including Thunbergia 'Arizona Glow' 

(sometimes called Black-eyed Susan Vine),

Superbells 'Dreamsicle' and

Supertunia 'Limoncello'

and Coleus 'Alligator Tears'.

I hope this yellows container will bring as much pleasure on a hot August day

as these Spring bloomers did on a rainy Memorial Day.
