Experimental Garden May Bloom Report

Things are blooming in the Experimental Garden, things other than wild things and weeds.




Iris are blooming, and the yellow ones are going wild.






bleeding heart
We always like to put hybiscus in pots and enjoy the blooms all summer long.




The chives are through with this bloom and I will dead head them.



Husker red beard tongue (penstemon digitalis) Blooms attrack polinators, especially honey bees. they are about 2 feet tall now and the foliage is beautiful






This is our first year with thornless blackberries and if the blooms come through we should be enjoying the fruit.


First tomato blooms.





Roses






 Caterpillar buffet of parsley.  It you plant it - they will come.  More caterpillars, more butterflies.



Tadpoles have escaped the pond.






Just in case you thought they were big frogs on a boulder, compare them to a chive blossom.

May you enjoy blooms in May in your garden.
