Around the Garden

Things are happening in the garden as the weather warms up.

My sweetpeas have started flowering:

I was late planting them (I put them in in early August, instead of in March), so they haven't grown as tall as they might have if they had been growing all winter. It is nice to see and smell them again.

Penstemons:

Salvia:

These graffiti geraniums , which were a Christmas gift last year,  are filling out nicely:

And this is something new:

Buddleja globosa, orange ball bush (although it seems more yellow than orange). The bees like it!
