Greetings from the Garden, Part II

The garden is slowly waking up. Unfortunately, the weeds are miles ahead of both the desired plants and the poor gardener.

The rhododendrons.





Bearded Iris.


The baptisia australis (false indigo) is just beginning to bloom.



Columbine.


Another columbine.


Bearded iris blooming amongst the lilacs.


My first rose of the season. Looks like the bug-wuggies have been busy munching on the leaves.

The azaleas are hiding in the landscaping.


Yet another columbine.


I seem to be running a cat hotel. And my cat, Midnight, is not happy about this at all.
