A Tour of the Gardens After the Rain

After a long week it was nice to relax and take time this evening to tour the gardens. The rain let up and the evening turned beautiful as I caught photo images on my tour. Early June we can always enjoy the beauty and scent of irises. I purchased some new lupines last fall and was excited to see them already blooming.
The purple columbine blends in well in the flower bed with the dame's rocket.Some friends moved a few years ago and dug up all their iris plants. We were the grateful receivers of many of those plants. This white one is a luminous beacon in the garden by the pond.
