I love this time of year

The camassias are now out, I have several large patches of them plus my Welsh poppies have started to flower.  I got the seed from my sister and her poppies were yellow but in my soil they are orange.  They can be either colour.

And the tree peonies have started to flower.  This is the first one and hadn’t flowered for a couple of years.  I’d forgotten how gorgeous the colour was.  My light pink one is almost flowering.

And good old centura montana.  I started off with one plant and now it is throughout the garden as it self seeds everywhere.  I don’t mind as the garden is big enough though if it does get too much I pull them out.  It flowers twice, once in spring and the provided you cut it back again in late summer.
