    A bit cloudy here today. The petals aren't as bright as a sunny day. But they still perk up the yard.

    I love irises!

    Mulch always makes the gardens look better regardless that you are just adding more dead stuff to the ground :)

    Yesterday (5/27), the root beer iris (early bloomers) started showing their stuff in a sea of white creeping phlox.

    I broadcast lupine seeds harvested from Well Seasoned 's plants back in the fall of 2019. This is the first year they will bloom.

    The big rhodies out front are getting ready to bloom. I don't think they will put on the stunning show they usually put on, but we'll see.
