Severe thunderstorms blew through the region yesterday. High winds uprooted trees and downed tree branches. Fortunately our property was not damaged nor were we affected by power outages.
This morning three white allium with their softball size spherical heads were still standing tall at the end of their stiff leafless stalks.
Also beneath the ornamental grasses popped up an Allium moly and an Allium roseum. Plus a real surprise - a small miniature white iris - peeked out from some green foliage.

The brilliance of our iris certainly is helpful in taking the edge off the unpredictable weather that continues to serve up unseasonable June days.

Although there were intermittent thunder showers throughout the weekend, the garden did reward us with its first iris blooms.

Yesterday, Memorial Day, was ideal. The parade and cookout played to sunshine with temperatures approaching the 70s.
Today, the thermometer fell into the low 50s. Nevertheless there were three bright spots in the garden. Firsts for the year: a daylily, a poppy and an iris.
