BETWEEN WEEDING, WATERING, EDGING, MULCHING, I noticed there are some new things blooming…like several dozen. Here are a few of the latest faces watching me go positively mad as I try to keep up with the unfolding drama.
- alliums
- amsonia tabernaemontana
- chionanthus virginicus
- siberian irises
- weigela ‘wine and roses’
- Rhododendron ‘Swansdown’



















My alliums were lovely this year. They have multiplied and were a wonderful purple island in my yard.
Welcome Shirl. Yes, like a floating island–in the air! Thanks for visiting.
If you’re going to go mad, this looks like good company to do it in.
