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.

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:
