Left side of the garden - salvia, sedum, and baptisia
(25 JUN 04)

The left side of the garden is dominated by the stonecrop. Mixed in are hardy geraniums, salvia (on the left) and baptisia.



Salvia (Blue Queen Sage)

Salvia (Blue Queen Sage)
(25 JUN 04)

The sage is filling in. It's very aromatic and adds to the generally purple theme on the left side of the garden.



False Indigo (Baptisia)

False Indigo (Baptisia)
(15 JUN 04)

The baptisia are finally blooming, after doing mostly nothing for the first two years.



Fleabane (almost)
(10 JUN 04)

The fleabane is growing nicely this year. I've twined them through the body of stonecrop and they should be blooming in about two weeks. More purple!

(25 JUN 04)

Right on time, the fleabane bloomed. More blooms than last year, too.



Cranesbill blooms with Japanese peony blooms
(10 JUN 04)

Some heavy Japanese peony blooms lurk among the bloody cranesbill. DEEP PURPLE!

(11 JUN 04)

A little rain and the peonies bloomed.



Middle of the garden
(10 JUN 04)

Middle of the garden
(25 JUN 04)

The middle of the garden is all peonies, baptisia and low-lying geraniums. The other plants should start filling out in the next month or so.



Peony bloom
(11 JUN 04)

The purple Japanese peony is sprouting the most blooms (like last year). The first two were large (hand-sized) but the heavy May rains took them down. The next three blooms were half the size but seem to be longer-lasting. There are another half-dozen bloom heads to come.



White peonies
(15 JUN 04)

The white Japanese peonies bloomed a week later than the purple (just like last year). One huge bloom (that rotted away in the heavy rains) and then a bunch of beautiful white ones.



Right side of the garden
(10 JUN 04)

Right side of the garden
(25 JUN 04)

The right side of the garden is dominated by the white peony in the back, the coreopsis in the middle, and the low-lying catmint. There's only one white peony bloom so far and nothing else is blooming yet. The catmint is already giving off a strong pine-mint smell.



Laughing Buddha

Laughing Buddha graces this garden.

Mystery Plant
(25 JUN 04)

I'm not sure what kind of plant this is, but it's growing pretty well this year. I transplanted some rooted flowers from my mother's garden late last year and it seems to have taken pretty well.
