Even More From the Garden

A few more photos from our garden for your viewing pleasure, and to keep you up-to-date.

The second of the Peonies in bloom,, this one a bright red, or maybe it's a very deep pink.  You'll notice that these are a 'single' peony, with one set of simple petals, so bees can access these easily.  You can breed very fancy 'double' peonies, but all you're doing is making it more difficult or impossible for the bees.

The next Peony to bloom is a paler pink or coral, now just unfolding.

Out front Mrs. F.G. has installed a bright coral obelisk as a framework for a new clematis.  

She painted it in 'tricycle red' to match our front door.  We're known as the 'house with the red door'.

This very pale blue Columbine is growing so luxuriantly it's crowded.  I like the view down into one of the blossoms.

This is the newest piece of garden; it was grass until 2 months ago.  Now it's got several plants coming up, and a fresh coat of mulch.

At this stage the planters are mainly veggies, and we're harvesting arugula, radishes, onions and kale for salads.  

The first Marigold has bloomed though, and soon there will be a lot more.  Good place for morning coffee.

Out on the patio we have this pot full of tiny succulents, up on a cart where I can get a close look at them  I always marvel at such tiny flowers.

Yesterday's Moth - as three knowledgeable commenters noted, the small white moth I posted a picture of yesterday is a White Slant-line.  Thanks to Jason, Woody and David for their help.
