| Oriental poppy, lupine and irises |
Flowers are taking over my vegetable garden, and they are the stars of the yard this week. A giant blue bearded iris that had languished in a shadier, weedier section of the yard for years is very happy here. Lupine and oriental poppies are also flourishing. Delphiniums that I just planted last fall are still small, but in bloom.

The roses are in their full glory, this time of year makes up for all of the weeding, watering and disease control! Roses are not low maintenance plants, but they are gorgeous.
I've planted a lot of lavender in the rose garden this year; it's all very small still, but here is one lace leaf lavender.

The one Dutch iris from last week has turned into a nice little cluster. This is also in the rose garden.

Salvia, or at least this plant, was sold as an annual but this is the fourth or fifth year that it's come back to life.

Next week: maybe a hollyhock? Nah, it's probably a month away still. They didn't bloom until very late in the summer last year, but I grew them from seed and was surprised to get any blooms the first year.
