I have tulips this year! Since the back yard is now fenced, we don't have deer coming in to eat the bulbs. So this corner of the garden has some lovely tulips.
Another shot of the tulips. Also in this bed is a red weigela, two phlox, beebalm, forget-me-nots, poppies which will bloom next year. I put some red portulaca at the front of the bed, next to a blue catmint.
And this is the new ginkgo biloba tree, with some cosmos planted at the base.
Another shot of the ginkgo, as the adorable little leaves begin to emerge.
And I was thrilled to see that this viburnum has some flower heads on it. What a lovely surprise!
The weather has been up and down, and quite unusual for this part of the world. Usually the days warm up in May and June can be quite hot. But not this year. Today is a lovely day with 20 degrees Celsius at 1 pm. One result of this strange weather is that the blackflies have not really come out in droves. But I read on one blog that people in Spokane, Washington have blackflies for the first time. Odd, that they would be moving south. Good for us if that is the case.
