Looking out the window, you'd be hard pressed to believe it's almost June. It's cold. It's wet. It's gray. It's definitely Seattle, but the end of May?
Oh well, despite the weather, the garden is giving us signs of hope that summer can't be far away!
The poppies are starting to bloom!
The Ladies Mantle is tossing out loads of chartreuse fluff....
Salvia 'Raspberry Delight' delights me!
The front yard is about to be a mass of lily blooms--Red and Orange first, then yellow, then pink--then the Orientals! Lilies from now until August! Hooray!
The iris are placeholders for lilies to come. And honest, when I planted them, I took the blue ones and the yellow ones, mixed them up and planted them. I don't know how they ended up so separate!!
I love this lupine...it's more than waist high on me. I rescued several little plants when my mother-in-law was ripping them out as weeds. Just goes to show you that weeds are truly in the eye of the beholder!
That's about it for today from my wet, soggy Seattle garden. Here's hoping for sunshine and some warmth!! (My tomatoes really want to move outside--the laundry room is getting a little cramped!!)
Don't forget to go on over to Tootsie's and see who else is flaunting their flowers this Friday!
