This Spring has been a good mix of rain and crazy hot. We have already had a few 80+ degree days and on Wednesday it was over 90. But last week we got buckets of rain and there is more on the way for this weekend. So lots of sun and rain means that the yard is looking fabulous! It is particularly astonishing to remember that all of my flower beds are only a year old and haven’t had time to look mature — It was at least the third or fourth year at the Rex before things starting looking this great.
Under the window gets better every day! The lupin! And then there are all these little surprises every where. Awesome!
I moved the iris from in front of the patio and door to where they would get more sun and I could use their height.
Pink geranium, dusty miller and feverfew making the front corner cute
The transplanted iris are doing great but a big surprise is the foxglove. I didn’t know what they were so told Mom to pull them. She said wait — so glad I did!
All of the moving around and transplants are taking hold. Splash of color with added bedding plants
Poppies and lupin. Poppies add a great splash of color that is dominated by purples.
Back of the house bed still looks pretty sparse but considering it is weeks old, nice start. Only 2 deaths so far — daily lily and some rubeckia.
The best part is that even as some of the first lupin are starting to fade, I can tell that there is a ton of stuff getting close to doing their thing. I have weeks of color and cute ahead — may even last the rest of the summer.
