We have settled into spring weather. After a substantial rain a week ago, the plant growth bounded. The leaves on the hardwoods are out. The pine pollen and the hardwood catkins have all fallen. The sound of the bees is everywhere. More and more butterflies are fluttering by.
This is a wonderful time of the year.
I have some lovely blooms to show you today. I will post them on Six On Saturday tomorrow. Here is the link if you want to see them and many more.

The yellow flag iris is also called swamp iris and Louisiana Iris. It is Iris pseudocorus. Reliable near a source of water.
The bearded iris is white in a sea of blue iris. I need to move it.
The Tradescantia (spider wort) is a native here. It shows up in many places in my yard. So I let it. It is a welcome spring visitor.
The Phlomis fruticose is a reliable bloomer and tolerated the hot sun and dry conditions of our summers.
The lamb’s ear, Stachys sp also tolerates the sunny location where it resides. It looks its best here in mid spring.
The Dutch Iris ‘Picasso’ is a new favorite of mine. It is noticeable from a distance.
Hope you garden is bringing you joy and pleasure. Happy gardening!
