Love a redbud, especially weeping. And that azalea makes my eyes pop! I especially enjoy all the texture you lovingly plan.

I'd like to grow more sedums in my raised beds, they are easy to grow I think.<br />Happy Garden blog day!

May is my favorite month in...Gorgeous gardens, Lee! May is my favorite month in gardens in my region (7a). Most if not all of the spring work is complete, and the annuals changed out. Your evergreen and perennial border shot here is my absolute favorite. You have so many of the same (weeping cedar, purple 'May night' salvia, sedum) or similar (Otto Luyken vs Skip laurel), it feels very much like a landscape here. I was happy to go back to home we sold and see they are taking care of the landscape after a rough first 18 mos. The azalea, roses, iris, and poppies were in bloom and just beautiful, but they pulled the spirea when they opened up the brick wall from the courtyard. :'( I love the globemaster allium and hope to get some for my daughter's flower bed where I transplanted some of my iris.<br />Thank you for the walk around your garden. And, of course, the flowering redbud and Kwanzan cherry along with your other blooms are spectacular too!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-76106533954872288392021-05-15T19:32:31.439-04:002021-05-15T19:32:31.439-04:00Your garden is looking spectacular, Lee, not that ...Your garden is looking spectacular, Lee, not that I expected anything else. I miss Azaleas but they struggled even in my former cooler, shadier garden and I don't think they'd have a chance of survival in my current garden, especially as we're clearly back in drought status (with some scary assertions on the part of some experts that California is facing a "megadrought"). Despite my love of all things floral, my favorite area of your garden this month may be that beautiful foliage combination in your back island bed.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-36797687585523837602021-05-15T14:19:13.932-04:002021-05-15T14:19:13.932-04:00What a beautiful garden to spend a day in.
