There are several varieties of lilacs in our yard and a snowball tree. They all had lots of blossoms this spring.
We have really enjoyed this peony tree. The blooms are very big - 7 1/2 to 9 inches. They leaves are like a peony bush but the stalk is actually covered with bark.
The peony bush has really filled out since we transplanted it. The annuals (marigolds and geraniums) were just planted a few days before this picture. We don't miss the slugs that we had on the west side because they would devour any marigolds that we planted (but we have rattlesnakes). There is always a trade-off.
The lupine has lots of blooms and there are many more still to bloom.
Bill is busy planting the tomatoes. Since this picture, everything has sprung up. We have peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, walla walla sweet onions, yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes, zucchini, hubbard squash, lettuce, green beans, beets and carrots.
