Calm Before the Storm

This morning, it sounded like today was going to be a wash- 90% chance of rain, severe thunder storms, and a tornado watch.

No chance of garden therapy for CG today.

(hosta bed is filling-in nicely)

But after a light morning shower, the skies opened-up for some nice warm sunshine.

Just what CG and the plants needed.

the first non-purple iris of the year!

the backyard beds are braced for severe weather

(calif. poppie warming igloos have been stowed away)

the purple iris & daffodils seem to work well together

maybe the last week of daffodil blooms : (

CG is finding the 'non-favorite' type of iris to be more intriguing with each new bloom.

(will be giving plenty of these away in the fall)
