It's 6:30 p.m. and still 82 degrees.
Time to see what's occurring in
my late May borders.
From the cul-de-sac, I
headed first to the right
along the garage wall.
The variegated iris
bloomed this year
after being transplanted
two summers ago.
The bunnies are eating the
asters and the yarrow.
I found a plant they are
not supposed to like.
It's too stinky!?!?
The May Nights salvia
are at their peak
for the first bloom.
They have performed
steadily for a decade.
Down in back,
another iris is blooming
a deeper purple.
A new At Last apricot rose
replaced the hydrangea.
I planted a different salvia
on both sides of the bench,
New Dimensions Blue,
to keep the purple color
going around the house.
And, rabbits don't like
it either??
We shall see...
I planted a cardinal flower
and some Phlox
Flame Purple Eye
and some lavender.
Will they become
brunch?
Around the patio,
the peonies are
ready to bust out.
The Miss Kim lilac is too.
I can already smell it!
The shade garden
is filling in with a
ghost fern, astilbe,
wild ginger and some
garden ornaments--
including a fairy garden.
And up the hill, the
bleeding heart and
primrose are passing
with the heat and the
late spring season.
The weigela is blooming
over a carpet of blue
wildflowers.
And the hostas are rising
up as the lilies of the valley
fade under the birch.
End of May!
Here comes summer!
