Icelandic Poppy


Such soft colors

They absolutely DO NOT like Maryland Summers. These will be gone in a few weeks. Enjoying them while they are in full bloom. It has been cooler and wetter this spring, which I think explains the number and quality of blooms.

Amazing.

Typically it's really, really heard to see the blooms in the Tulip Poplar trees because they grow so tall and the blooms tend to be in the canopy. Not sure why (maybe the rain?) our trees are blooming on the lower branches. It enabled me to capture this wonderful shot.

Silvermoon Clematis

I never use to like Clematis, but they are starting to grow on me. This plant must love this location because I've never seen so many blooms on one plant before.

Only 1 flower this year, but it sure was pretty. Hopefully the new fence will keep some or all of the deer out.

They might only last days, but that makes it all the better. It's Tree Peony season and this year has been spectacular.

They started at 6:30 a.m. yesterday and poured the pool. It was quite an adventure. Especially when the shot concrete (on purpose) into the air and into our woodland garden. Go figure. Anyway - I was able to wash most of it off.

Anyway - it looks fantastic.
