| Yellow Rose |
This is one of two miniature rose bushes brought at the grocery store a couple of years ago that I planted in the yard. The deer don't usually come by this area, but this year right after this first bloom, they ate it and all the buds on both bushes.
| Pink Astilbe |
Not many pink astilbe plants made it through one of our coldest winters this year. The white astilbe plants never showed up. We had cold weather in the 30's at night right up until the first of June. I could not believe we had to turn the heat on some nights the last week of May.
| Salvia |
The salvia bloomed right on time in May.
| Red Hot Poker |
One of three Red Hot Poker plants have bloomed. The other two don't look like they are going to bloom. Many trees and plants are finally recovering from the late frost that turned their leaves brown. The crape myrtle tree has grown all new green leaves as well as the three sycamore trees, the camellias, the cotoneaster plants. Although the cotoneaster plants had no flowers this spring.
