| rhododendron |
It has continued to be cooler than normal here. Last night it was in the 40's. Everything is late. The azaleas are just done blooming. The rhododendrons have just bloomed all over the neighborhood. And I noticed a few iris are blooming in some yards.
Here are some photos of my perennials that have finally come up in all my gardens.

| The three Asiatic lilies are getting taller by the day. |
 |
| My Japanese iris has buds and will be blooming soon. |
 |
| This balloon flower finally emerged from the ground. |
 |
| The Midnight salvia is the only perennial blooming right now in the side garden. |
 |
| This coneflower was slow to make an appearance. |
 |
| This is a digitalis plant a gardener friend gave me last fall. |
 |
| I was worried about this gaillardia plant. But it finally put out some green leaves. |
One of my plants, a coreopsis, did not survive the brutal winter. I have seen nothing in the spot where it was growing. I had damage to other plants which I will show in another post. I hope it gets hot and stays hot here soon. We have had a cold fall, a brutal winter, and a cool spring. I think everybody is ready for some warmth here.
I lost a coreopsis, too, which is surprising considering how tough they are. I'm not ready for hot weather. The 80's are fine for me! Your garden looks great and will be full of color this summer. :o)
ReplyDeleteI have never lost a coreopsis until this winter, and I have been growing them for years. Very strange.
