Spring Garden Update

We're about to go head-long into summer. The fact that we were able to have the windows open last week, was a real shock, but it didn't last long and now it's starting to feel like the end of spring. These were some final spring blooms before the daylilies took off last week. Photos of those and the easter lilies coming up soon.

And the clematis jackmanii was at its best yet. I've never had this many blooms. It's been in the ground for only two years though. I'm very pleased with the way it looks, esp. in contrast to all the pale pink roses around it.
