The look of the big bed has changed a lot over the last month.

A beauty like this needs to be seen from all sides.
One of the very last bearded iris. Looks like 'Earl of Essex'.
In their place Iris virginica are blooming. Not the best display, since
it was very dry in April and the first half of May, but any are welcome.

The Baptisia are finished and the spiderworts have started.

ReplyDeleteMy iris will be finishing up--pushed on by this horrible hot spell. I seem to have a few Theresa Bugnet blooms and a couple of the Griffith Buck roses are starting to flower.
