May blooms

Here's what's in bloom in my garden this week:


The delicate single rose "Sally Holmes."


Shrub rose "Lavender Lassie."


A pale lavender clematis whose name I've forgotten


Louisiana iris - sort of a purply-chocolate brown and gold.

    I love that Louisiana Iris! We are currently awash in peonies. Unfortunately, we are also awash in thunderstorms that beat those lovelies into the ground. But, oh! The scent!

    Very pretty. I wish I knew the names of my roses. I've been seeing those Iris this year and don't remember seeing them before. The colors are so interesting.

    Ooh. I have a "Lavender Lassie", only it's not exactly a shrub anymore. It's now over 10 feet tall and threatening to take over the fence on my deck. It smells heavenly and blooms all summer long.
    Get well soon!
