A small Nelly Moser clematis vine planted against a beech tree. This plant has survived two vole attacks over the last few years and came back very strong this year.
Our ostrich ferns have really taken off this spring.
Unknown clematis blooming on the back fence.
An unknown azalea species. This image was taken when sunlight was hitting the plant. It looks a little bright but the vivid color is spot on.
A classic french hybrid lilac bloom.
The tiny flowers of purple mazus reptans. The flower clusters are usually a bit more dense. It has escaped the border and is now in the lawn.
An unknown grown cover we found at an Amish garden center.
Non-Stop Fire begonia. The flowers are about 2 inches on this variety and if you look in the middle between the blooms you will see its ancestry showing with a single flat flower.
A nice shot of a Creme Brulee Heuchera in the morning sun.
This digitalis spike will reach about 3 feet when done. The soil underneath must have made it quite happy. Its also growing under a plum tree and only gets a few hours of sun. We'll let this one go to seed and collect them for next season.
A Viburnum macrocephalum on its second year in the garden. It went nuts this spring with every new limb sporting a flower head. From the photo, this could be mistaken for a mophead hydrangea but the flowers are only about 2 to 3 inches. We wish it was fragrant like other viburnum.
A Rhododendron Lemon Lights finally blooming heavily. It was a little sparse last season. The fragrance is nice and noticeable when downwind.
A pair of tall white bearded iris. These blooms were exceptionally large this year. The fragrance is reminiscent of grapefruit.
This is the corner of the dogwood garden. I just thought it looked nice so I took a photo.
Abelia mosanenisis is a very fragrant plant that pairs well with lilac. We've planted them with Korean and Evangeline. They don't get much love at the garden centers in our area but they would sell well if offered in bloom. One sniff is all it would take.
