Garden in Late May, 2004

The perennial garden moves on through the cycle.  I guess that's the motto of my garden.  Some plants have already flowered, while others are still gearing up.  We hit the flowering season for late azaleas and rhododendruns, and the late spring flowering perennials.  Plus my beautiful lovely peonies came up, although I wish they weren't white.  I am really not a big fan of white flowers.  Still, they were a lovely sight with the rhodies behind them.

Most of my perennials and shrubs are very new, so they're still small, and flowering isn't profuse.  I'm sure I'll see more of a show in following years.

The rest of my roses went into the ground, and some even began to flower so beautifully.
