The deep purple lilac and the pink dogwood I planted along the back fence last spring are doing beautifully in spite of the freaky weather.
All of the wall plants are blooming at once: white rock cress next to periwinkle, moss phlox, basket-of-gold, and veronica 'Waterperry Blue'.
Wild phlox, white bleeding heart, and celandine poppy brighten up the shady spots, while Katisha relaxes in the lush grass.
May 11: A view of the Carolina silverbell from the back porch, followed by a closeup of a lovely little blue and white shade plant called Omphalodes cappadocica 'Starry Eyes' (a relative of the forget-me-not), Scilla hispanica, and a pink azalea.
