Out Early and Over Soon



It's been the hottest May we've ever had and everything goes over so soon. The tree peonies. the clematis  and the Magnolia stellata were all lovely but only lasted a very short time. I dream of rain. The weather is getting cooler this week end and I will be grateful not to have to water. I have introduced a lot of new plants to the garden this year so they need watering or they will die. Next year they will have settled in.

Iris sibirica 
The wonderful things out this week are the Iris. I have had some that have done really well and thought I might as well get a whole lot more. I got a lot of deep blue sibirica iris and they really liven the garden up. They don't mind the heavy clay. They are doing really well this first year and I expect them to reproduce

                            

               


My giant euphorbia broke last year but has grown again. It is still smaller than it was but is looking good.
