A Morning Stroll through the Garden

What a difference a year makes. This spring, we have had sufficient rainfall, and the plants are blooming madly. Bill and I both took photos this morning. Here are mine, taken with my little point and shoot canon.

Solomon’s Seal under the oak tree. 2. Catmint with an onion background. 3. Chives growing in a concrete block. 4. Clematis with blooms the size of my palm. 5. A few paeonies. 6. Mouse-eared coreopsis nestled among various pansies. 7. Crepe myrtle shoots. 8. A collection of textured leaves. 9. Woodland columbines.

The bearded iris are just starting to bloom, but my photos of them didn’t turn out well. Perhaps I can persuade Bill to share a few of his.

There is a storm coming tonight and these blooms may end up shredded by wind. A life on the prairie has its trials. (sigh) It’s best to enjoy nature’s floral bounty promptly, for tomorrow it may be gone.
