Agree, Arlene.
Was trying to get a correct identification of the plicate iris (picture posted before).
Last week, visited garden of local American Iris Society garden/exhibition judge.
I ultimately persuaded myself because the cultivar in question (of the possibles) was the only one that had been locally available.
The end of the peonies for this year.
Best picture June 23.
Yesterday after rain during the night.
'Sarah Bernhardt' (faded)
'FĂ©lix Crousse'
Campanula 'Kent Belle'
Recent additions.
Delphinium grandiflorum 'Summer Nights'
(tend to view delphiniums as annuals here).
Echinacea purpurea 'Double Scoop' Orangeberry
(Lost a number of our fancier purple coneflowers to coneflower rosette mite a couple of years ago.
The problem (in the nursery greenhouses?) seems to be resolved now).
