| side yard garden |
During the week that I was gone visiting family in Las Vegas, Nevada, my gardens were filling in nicely. My side yard garden seemed to have a growth spurt. It gets the most sun of any of my gardens. The purple-blue "midnight" salvia is the star of the garden right now. In front of the salvia are the annuals I planted, yellow marigolds and pink petunias. Following are some photos of other growth that is occurring in my side yard garden.

| coneflower |
While the coneflower plants are still growing and are not yet at normal height, I found a small bloom beneath them all.
 |
| Japanese iris |
Here is one of the blooms on the Japanese iris.
 |
| oriental fountain grass |
The oriental fountain grass "Karley Rose" is finally greening up.
 |
| digitalis |
I can't wait to see the blooms on the digitalis plants. A friend gave me three of these last fall.
 |
| butterfly bush |
My butterfly bush was damaged by the brutally cold winter. It has a lot of dead branches, but new growth is coming up from the bottom.
 |
| zinnias |
I planted these zinnia seeds at least three weeks ago. They have been very slow to grow because of the very cool May weather.
 |
| lavender |
The lavender is just about to burst into bloom.
There is lots of growing going on in my electric garden and in my backyard garden which I will tell you about in another post. Also in a future post I will show you photos of a very spectacular park we visited while in Nevada.
