June is Off to a Good Start

The Nova Zembla rhododendron, my most anticipated new planting, is finally in bloom. I'm happy with the color, although it's not quite as red as I had hoped for. The shrub looks great though and seems to like its location. Things are really starting to come together in the gardens. I know it will be a couple of more years before everything really fills in the way I'd like it to, but I feel like I'm off to a good start.

Nova Zembla (with hardy gladiolus and African daisy to the left):


Iris in the pool bed:


Lone white siberian iris bloom from Terry. It's beautiful! I'm going to move these to the new island bed in the fall next to the purple ones.


Peonies:




The border in front of the house filling in:


Other side of the walkway:


Pool bed is pretty much filled in. Allium starting to lose color with iris and coleus in the front:
