A few Tulipa tarda or wild tulips remain from a batch planted about 10 years ago. The blooms so love the sun that they don't bother to open on overcast days.
A line of Narcissus poeticus, interplanted with daylilies, edges one side of the house.
After the reticulata have departed, a few later-blooming irises appear in my front garden. I think these are Iris bucharica.
And this weekend, I'm planning to begin planting my new side hedge with this Forsythia x intermedia "Lynwood Gold." This variety, with an upright habit, is nothing special, but I hope it will serve as a good landscape anchor--and I'm looking forward to forcing flowers indoors next winter.
Time to get busy outside!
