Mid-May yard

These bushes are blooming and they smell fabulous! Some kind of likac, we think.

Lily of the Valley that we never planted but it pops up every year.

My clematis are getting ready to bloom. The wooden trellis on the right fell apart so I put up the metal, cut back the plant, and it's really growing!

Our only real bloom right now ...

but more on the way. I need to put the matching metal trellis on the left side but that might have to wait until next spring.

It's almost reaching the gutters on the garage. Can't wait to see it in bloom. I also planted some daisy and sunflower seeds, planted some canna lily bulbs I got at the museum, transplanted some hostas and moved our nearly dead wandering "Dudes" to the back yard. Fingers crossed something good happens.

Our irises are starting to bloom. We really need to divide them.
