Lull in the Flower Beds
/
The very last iris is blooming in our flowerbeds. We have a sea of green that is studded with potential:
There lilies are sending up their bud stalks (not all of them yet - but every day I notice more emerging above the dense core of leaves). That part of the flower beds will be full of yellow and orange by the time the hot weather is consistent.
The blazing stars are clustered around the bird bath. They’ll be almost the same color as the irises as some point.
The dahlias are purple and pink and white…..I don’t dig them up in the fall and our winters are cold enough to challenge their survival. Most of the plants from last year seem to have survived the winter.
I’ll miss the color at our front door for the length of time it takes the new flowers to begin their season. Right now I have to simply love the green!
