What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month
The smaller perennials are still growing, while some of the larger ones are blooming.
Siberian Iris are in full bloom. I picked these multipliers up at a master gardener plant swap, and now have 3 stands with 100 blooms.
Columbine Aquilegia from my mom's garden years ago.
Pea blossom. Hey, veggies have blooms, too.
Mountain Laurel Kamlia latifolia. A very red 'Sarah' cultivar.
White camassia -- not as popular as the blue.
Bearded Iris. This reblooming cultivar 'Clarence' was purchased from Walmart many years ago.
Geranium sanguineum close up.
I don't know the name of my black bearded iris. It's really hard to get the color right, when taken with a cell phone camera. 
Spiderwort grows well although in a sunty location.
The white ruffled bearded iris came from another plant swap.
The tree peony 'Garden Treasure' that closes up at night.Find other garden bloggers' posts at May Dream Gardens
I love your mountain laurel. Mine is getting ready. The siberian iris are beautiful too. I forgot to photograph mine.
ReplyDeletePhillip, it's a somewhat intense color for a mountain laurel. That's why I like it.

Lovely blooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea!
DeleteYour 'Clarence' iris looks so ethereal. I wouldn't mind it in my garden. Very lovely blooms in your May garden.
ReplyDeleteThat Siberian Iris is knock-dead gorgeous, as are your bearded Irises. Regrettably, I'm outside the hospitable zone for Siberian Irises and they wouldn't care for my alkaline soil either. Camassia is another genus of plants I wish I could grow.
ReplyDeleteI though camassia would grow well in the west. Maybe not cool enough where you are? If it make you feel better, you have some plants I can't but would be happy to have in my garden.
DeleteLove those irises!
ReplyDeleteYour spring garden is wonderful, but those Iris's...wow!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee. I sort of gained more Iris without realizing it as time went on.
