Lots of rain.
May 2016, Toronto got less than half of it's average yearly rainfall.
May 2017, it got over 80% more than the yearly average.
Relatively green leafy time for the garden here (late May/early June).
Pictures yesterday:
The lilac.
Perennials with variegated leaves.
Alliums.
Iris.
Globeflowers.
Columbines.
Japanese primulas.
Still there.
Useful little plant: Silene 'Rolly's Favorite'.
Last year, bloomed in our garden from May to June.
Not sure how many years it will last at that rate.
The peonies are in bud.
We seem to get peonies blooming throughout the month of June; but none before and none later.
