Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 21
Yay, the first rose of the season is blooming! For me, that’s the Austen Copper, bright and red-orange and beautiful. Austen Copper blooming the same time as the irises always makes my front garden so very nice and cheerful.
Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years also shows off my lavender phlox and purple-blooming creeping thyme that are also blooming right now. And while I don’t expect yucca blooms this year, yes, my beautiful pink peony is definitely gearing up for a soon-to-be beautiful show.
Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years reminds me of the early-spring blues and purples that are now just about done, and shows off some new roses that may be blooming in the next weeks – definitely the ruffled orange one whose name I don’t know is gearing up with lots of buds.
…This week my garden is basking in sunshine.
