Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
the bi-coloured dwarf iris are still producing. They only bloom for a couple a days but I figure I'll have had over a two dozen of em this year. :D

There will soon be at least one other variety of iris out and the aliums are begining to blossom - but they're nowhere as large as they once were.
This evening's pic is a revisit, though the plant looks a lot more spread out than before. I was calling it a flox-like plant, but this weekend Bryan remembered the name of it - and I must say, I don't recall it flowering in a number of years.
It's called Silver dollar.
Hard to explain why the name at this point, but when the seed sack matures, I'll post them and the reason for the plant's name will likely become more evident.
also, you will note the cage ... I caged up the peonies a little earlier this year.

This is Lunaria annua commonly known as Honesty, Silver Dollar, Money Plant, Moonwort and Bolbonac. It's called Lunaria after the latin for moon (luna)- your pictures of it later in the year wil make sense of this ;)

Sheriff Roland:
As I said before the alliums are going to be a lot smaller than when we first got em some 5 years ago. As much as a third as large. This is an early picture ... (2 days ago)
Sheriff Roland:
I need to get the camera out ... this is my last 'new' picture - 3 days old
My first update on the lilac tree blossoms. A pretty sunny one, hun?
