Spring showers bring on the flowers.

Veronica x spicata "Tickled Pink" is a new edition to the garden this season. We planted two and they have done well.  Next year the bloom should be much thicker. Notice the Ostrich fern in the background.
Delphinium elatum "Blue Lace" is one of my favorite Delphiniums.  It has been raining quite a bit lately and I wanted to catch it before the lower flowers were beaten to death. Normally, I'd wait until the entire flower spike is covered in florets before I took the picture.
A classic purple Iris. This is a very fragrant variety. It smells like citrus.
Another nice image of the the High Society Rose with Mock Orange blooming in the background.
A solitary Chinese Dogwood bloom. 
Pink Peony.
