Even your “common” chives are uncommonly lovely!

Thanks, HB. (Almost) everything looks nice against chartreuse, I think.

I just shovel-pruned a Carolina jasmine that was once fine, but since the willow and hollies matured, it wanted to take over everything vertical! It was also self-sowing too much for me. So, now I’m searching for something to go beside a stone column corner inside the cottage garden. Something that doesn’t climb is appealing right now!

Sounds like a selection of Clematis recta might be ideal for that spot. Mine gets up to about 5 feet, weaving up through taller companions.

I find that my blooms this year are far closer than usual to those of my friends in New England.My Iris are done though!

Wow, ks, you’re having an especially weird spring, aren’t you? I always admire people who can come up with great combinations for this time of year, since the weather makes bloom times so unpredictable.
