Sometime wet is good

We have had over four inches of rain during the last week or so. Everything is growing like crazy, since there has been enough sun interspersed with the rain.

I've weeded and mulched most of my beds, so I am almost on top of the weeds. But a tour of the yard this morning let me know there is always plenty of weeding ahead.

I just put together my first vase of cut flowers. Yarrow, lavender, beebalm (purple and red) purple salvia, purple coneflower and black-eyed susans. I also cut four sprigs of rosemary. I like the added fragrance. The liatris are close, but not quite read for cutting. I also have daisies budding, but also not ready for cutting.

Several of my white crinum lilies are blooming now. I hope to mark all white and red ones this year.
