Thanks, Arlene, Mike, Jeanie.
Find our garden gets a bit messy at the end of May/beginning of June;
leaves from spring bulbs are still around and the larger plants of summer are growing taller.
Today:
Last tulips.
Columbine (Winky Mix) and Japanese primula ('Miller's Crimson').
Iris graminea.
Closer.
My favourite old no name iris. Picked it up as a tuber on the surface, about 40 years ago, when they got rid of the iris bed in a public garden in Toronto.
Was told that the small iris behind is common in places like old New England graveyards. It's a very early (mid 19th century) French iris which turns out to be 'Sans Souci'.
It was taken by wife's American grandparents when they moved way up north to Timmins, Ontario, in the 1910s, for the opening of the gold mines.
We got our 'Sans Souci' from there, after they'd passed.
(Maple keys beginning to fall on the grass and driveway.)
