Irises and a Perennial Bed Update

Nothing prettier than spring irises. Glorious!

These came up in the perennial bed and neither Mom nor I remembered planting them last fall.

The daffodils are already done and dying back. The hostas are on their way and the asiatic lilies are making their comeback.

I've got a lot of space to fill this year and have been thinking about creeping, crawling ground cover for around the perennial bed tree. Maybe a some russian sage for some height. Boxwood?

Just down from the perennial bed is a spot at the edge of the yard that's mulch and weeds. I'll need to make a plan for that area, as well.

So much to do this summer! Updates to follow.
