Look forward to seeing this develop Neal!
I have a few things blooming, taken with an IPhone so not the best shots:
Spent bloom on International Herald Tribune
First bloom on Honey Perfume
Louise Clements
First bud on Distant Drums with it's bronze foliage
Daughter of Stars
The cute iris confusa 'Chengdu' that I got from Zuzu
Osteospermum ecklonis Zion™ Copper Amethyst, just awesome color. It's in a pot on my deck.
Santolina 'Lemon Fizz' in the foreground and St. John's Wort (Hypericum Hypearls™ Madelon)
Rock Rose (XHalimiocistus wintonensis)
My favorite heuchera, Amethyst Myst
Lithodora (Glandora 'Grace Ward') planted on the raised beds with iris and our 5 eating grapes, they seem to like this area with good drainage.
Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria Inticancha® Summer Breeze)
We extended the chicken run so they are not messing up the garden and my patio, I let them out maybe three times a week for a couple of hours late afternoon. My grandson brings them weed greens so they follow him when he walks by.
