Yard report for end of May.
FLOWERS
The "Blast of Color" continues with loads of light purples and yellows on the west side. The purples are from creeping phlox that thrive over there. The yellows are from two perennials that I don't know, but are plentiful just the same. The wild phlox are budding and just opening in purple blooms and Shasta daisies are just starting to bloom into white. I have a real lot of these last two.
Plus, there are some tulips still in bloom along with white and red creeping phlox, candy tufts, and other perennials I've forgotten the names. The hundred or so irises are budding.In short, "We Have Color Everywhere.
TREES AND BUSHES
The mountain ashs have white balls on them, the Japanese lilacs are getting ready to bloom, one white crabapple is still blooming, and the two sunrise honey locusts are bursting into leaves with that blast of gold color. My two purple lilacs are ablaze as well.
WEST SIDE AND OTHER FLOWER BEDS
I've been transplanting purple coneflowers, black-eyed susans, short daisies, medium daisies, tall phlox, creeping phlox, mums, hostas, and a peony bush to the west side.
I have also been straightening up and thinning out all the flower beds, and there are a LOT of them. Currently working on Frances' Back 40.
