Gardening Flowers & Foliage

The creeping phlox is at peak.

 

Don't forget to water that cigarette butt.

 

Just noticed the lilacs are flowering.

 

they are lovely. Mine is just about to burst into bloom. A couple of days of sunshine and it will open.

 

An attractive problem to have!

 

Gorgeous colour.

 

Mulched out front today

 

I like the edging. I need to do something like that.

Looking good!

 

More things are popping in every direction around the yard.

Yellow roses just off the deck




Rhodys are opening up.




As are mock orange




And the Siberian irises are showing off.




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

 

Irises are coming along here as well

 

Almost done with the mulch.

 

I love irises!

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

 

I got home from vacation to see family to these beauties (all pics taken on 5/24/22)

 

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.

 

What a nice surprise to come home to bogieb Gorgeous colours. My rhododendron is blooming. I discovered it last night.
