From May 11:
 |
| Daisies |
 |
| Crystal Fountain clematis |
 |
| Pink rose |
 |
| Discovery dutch iris |
 |
| Cute as a button, dainty red roses with a sheep in the background |
 |
| Daisies on a foil of lamb's ear, what a pretty combination! |
 |
| Southern Charm verbascum |
 |
| Love in a Mist (Nigella damascena) |
 |
| The latest of my iris, a bold and cheerful yellow |
 |
| Columbine |
 |
| Poppies peaking through forsythia leaves next to my office window |
 |
| Franziska Maria clematis - it actually bloomed nicely this year after 6 years of patient waiting. |
 |
| These ruffly pink poppies make me think of petticoats |
 |
| The peonies were gorgeous this year and lasted such a long time. I picked bouquets for weeks and filled the house with their heady fragrance. |
 |
| Franziska Maria again - there were enough buds I got more than one picture! That's a first. |
 |
| Close up of the tulip poplar bloom. Tulip poplars were the inspiration for our farm name. |
 |
| And here you see more of why we are Poplar Ridge! |
 |
| These Stella d'oro daylilies brighten any scene, day or night. I am still amazed at how they have thrived in their new homes away from the shade of a thirsty maple tree. |
June 20, the first day of summer:
 |
| Stump planter by the storage building |
 |
| Fourth of July climbing roses that are looking good in their first growing season (planted last fall) |
 | |
| Blackberries - it won't be long now! |
 |
| Black-eyed Susan, one of my all time favorites |
 |
| An impromptu concert in the flower bed? |
 |
| Royal Candles veronica in the foreground is a striking contrast next to this orange butterfly weed |
 |
