Bearded iris season is over, though we have a few late blossoms here and there. The Siberian and Louisiana irises are beginning to bloom. We don’t have nearly the number of those that we have of the others. Daylilies are just beginning to send up scapes and buds. There are a few blooming. In a […]
The plants on this side of the house (peony, geranium and hosta) have made a pretty picture all spring. Out of more than twenty redbud trees in our garden, this is the only one with seed pods this pinky red color. All the redbud trees are Eastern Redbuds except one, which is a ‘Forest Pansy’ […]
