Tiny flower on creeper
This little creeper grows all over the place - in pots, over the ground, wherever it touches base and gets enough moisture.
Blue bearded iris
Always the first to start the bearded iris season, the rest don't begin until October.

Muscari art
It was 1-degree celsius this morning, so guess who had a play around with photoshop & a muscari spike!

Muscari spike
I planted 100 muscari around the edges of the rose garden in 1990 and now there are THOUSANDS!

Bordering bulbs
Muscari and Ipheion in bloom during August. They border the rose garden and create interest when the roses are mostly bare sticks with a few new spring leaves.
The Ipheion began as ONE bulb that turned up in the 100 muscari bulbs and now we THOUSANDS of these too. They make a neater border than muscari.
