On Saturday I was in a photo taking mode. This clivia upstairs in the old office is flowering great guns.
When I pulled the shades down against the sun, I could see the azalea was nearly in full bloom.
When I went out to do chores, the dianthus in the East of Steps garden was flowering.
As was the scented dianthus in the New West garden.
The pink evening primrose has survived and is flowering in the New West also.
Along the Fence gardens the white Siberian iris has started to flower.
Across the driveway from the iris the spirea is in full bloom.
In the New South garden the Sweet William has started to flower.
In the South garden, the sedum I was worried about back in March is doing fine and in full flower.
The rugosa rose is just opening flowers also.
In the Seventh Fence garden, that is supposed to be an iris bed, the raspberry volunteers have overrun it and they are covered in berries this year.
Just a month ago, when I cleaned out this area by the Small garden, there was no sign of life from the hibiscus. Now it’s nearly 12” tall.
The Kousa dogwood is flowering now in the backyard.
There are lots of flowers in the New Herb garden: lupine, chives, chamomile, woad, creeping veronica, and a few others.
On Sunday I hope to get more rows planted in the Big garden.
