Next Phase of the Garden

We had a week of wet weather but fortunately I had staked stuff reasonable well and there was little damage.  The wet spell did coincide with the blooming of the Siberian Iris, however, so I did not get to enjoy them as much as I had hoped.

Now the painted daisies and day lilies are blooming and the delphiniums are not far behind.  It's been a great gardening year - so far...

 

After the white..here comes the pink rugosa

Very pretty

And the very first bloom from Contestant #3 - the yellow rugosa

 I love the Siberian Iris

Although they did get pummeled pretty good by our recent wet weather.

Started these babies from seed in February 2014.  Pyrethrum "James Kellway".

 The day lilies are pretty reliable...just wish they lasted longer!

Tomorrow is Aunt Emilie's 90th birthday and I'm hosting the family get together.  Her grandson, Brock, is coming in from Anchorage and her daughter, Sandra, from Victoria, B.C.  A blow-by-blow will be forthcoming here shortly...
