Beautiful photos. Love the ruffled petals on the double-blossomed cherry flowers! Tulip lanterns would be nice to have...that glow...
Thank you! The lantern was especially welcome coming out of the overcast. Our days lately have been majority-grey.
I maintain that summer really does start May 1 where I am, not June. By August things are visibly autumnal.
It's very unclear to me what our seasons actually look like under current conditions, but a cold late spring feels more normal than an early hot one.
Cherries are over now---bulbs are finishing up, and they will be done in by the coming warm spell---it's time to get serious about annuals for the containers---I may have missed the window for popping the support things over the peonies, already...the new ensata irises need to go in the water today...
I had to look up ensata as differentiated from any other kind of iris, but they are lovely and I hope they thrive! How are the peonies doing?
