Weekly Walk About

In the front yard--lilacs are in full bloom; beautiful and fragrant. All the bulbs have faded, but the moss phlox are still in bloom. The newly planted white phlox are not looking good and probably need to be misted every day. We will need to do that.

On the south side the pastel tulips are fading, but the cat mint is starting to bloom. I will soon have iris in bloom and the deep purple one has a nice bud on it too. The day lilies we transplanted are not looking good, but still think they will make it.

In the back the bleeding heart is wonderful; the candy tuft is big and beautiful; and the columbine is starting to bloom. Also the laminum is in bloom again. The lilies of the valley we transplanted might make it as well. They are still struggling, but look hopeful.

The bridal spirea are starting to bloom. I'm surprised that it is this early, but they should peak the first of June.

The red bud tree is starting to fade. It has been beautiful.
