Around the Garden ...


As I dust off my blog and flip the calendar's page, I'm surprised at how quickly May has come and gone.

The gardens had a late start with the cool spring.

In May, we set up the fountain which I get to enjoy each day.


The pretty purple catmint is in full bloom ...


We even had a visitor stop by to say "Hello".


The Syringa vulgaris 'Sensation' lilac with its beautiful bicolor flowers!


Soft lavender-pink petals on the Korean lilac bush.


Drumstick Allium reaching for the sky.


Siberian & Japanese Irises have always been a favorite.  'Momogasumi' with warm lavender-pink petals.  They remind me of a butterfly.


One of the oldest bushes is the Rhododendron.


Peonies are starting to emerge ... this one is 'Terrific Gal'.   


Of course, there is 'Sarah Bernhardt' with her large double flowers in pastel pink.


Do you remember my garden pond?  The water irises are blooming ...


and our koi is getting big!  He was only 4" long when he came to join us. 


I've enjoyed playing in the dirt this spring.  We have made quite a few changes this year, which I hope to share with you soon.

Thanks for strolling with me today ...
