This double-blooming bearded Iris germanica White Hot is very showy and stands out against the azalea in the background.
The amazing High Noon tree peony blooms are very large and lightly fragrant. This flower is about 7 inches when fully open in the sun. It has an iridescent quality to it that makes the petals seem white but they are not. This also makes it hard to photograph properly.
A solitary red Camellia Japonica under a dogwood tree. I have to move this plant into the sun to get more blooms.
An enormous Declaration lilac bloom. It was so big the stem couldn't hold it up. And yes, the fragrance was just a big.
A very happy ostrich fern under the cherry tree.
A fluffy limb of Vanhoutte spirea (S. vanhouttei), the classic bridal wreath spirea.
This is the second year for Spiraea Nipponica Snowmound in the garden. The individual flowers have little yellow centers.
A perfectly formed Clematis Fireworks. The flowers are very large but don't droop. Its surprising that the tiny vine can support the bloom.
Rhododendron Hotspur Yellow is sold as an azalea and isn't yellow. I vote for a name change. Either way the flowers are beautiful and fragrant. We had one plant get completely chewed off at the root base. We stuck it back in the ground and it appears to have survived.
Two types of Creeping Phlox.
