More Irises had to be brought in. I forgot that I have two different yellow ones. One is intensely yellow while the other is quite a bit lighter. Both have a faint scent but the blue one fills the kitchen with its wonderful scent.
This clump of yellow and almost brown Irises is shorter and holds its flowers up with no problems.
The Deutzia ' Strawberry Fields' is starting to bloom. It has grown much bigger than what the tag said and I have to keep it safe from Someone who wants to prune it back. No names mentioned.
A few more pictures of what's blooming now....
So it's good-bye May and Hello June. Our days lengthened by an hour and 17 minutes this month.
In June the first day is 16 hours long and the last of the month will be a mere 12 minutes longer.
Thanks for coming by.
Every year I'm fascinated about the growing light. O June! Somehow a holy time - - "Strawberry-field": so many flowers! This bush makes the bees happy. Iris is one of my best friends.
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely plants. I do like Deutzia though it is a while since I've had one in the garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms and I do like how light it is in the morning. Hard to believe the days will be getting shorter soon.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! That Deutzia is quite something; I'm not familiar with that genus of plants, which I just read on Wikipedia contains about 60 different species. Do you know what species yours is? I will have to read about them. I see they are in the hydrangea family, which makes me think they need a lot of water. That is likely why people don't grow them around here....
ReplyDeleteI have a white Deutzia but it is not very happy in my garden. Yours is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty iris. I miss the ones we always had blooming in our yards. I miss the long, long days of the pacific northwest in the summer, but it's not too bad here. I just wish the humidity were lower so it would be comfortable to sit outside. Right now it's 87%! Very miserable.

ReplyDeleteI love June for the increasing light. Your irises are gorgeous! Such rich colours.
ReplyDeleteI love irisés colours i must get some more in the garden next year.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is gorgeous as ever! My irises are just about passed, and they never smelled very good. Don't know why. But they are stunning to look at! I'm also keeping track a bit of the lengthening of the days. I'm eager for summer to start its slow reversal, and for the days to be shorter again :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes for happy days in June.
All the best Jan
