    I know, I know— they make that space look like a meadow.

    @Logan , beautiful foxgloves!

    Here are a couple of flowers from my yard.

    A red peony.

    An iris. This is "Alcazar", created by Phillippe de Vilmorin in Paris, France in 1905.

    A HorseChestnut tree.

    It's a bit large LOL

    Kind of alarming - the horse chestnut us usually buzzing with bees, you can hear them before you see them. This year... none. I hope it was just the chilly morning.

    @Zigs, your Sisyrichium is a couple of months ahead of mine. Very nice!

    @Droopy , I've never heard of Gentiana. Such a rich beautiful blue!

    Oh, my bees would love that chestnut tree of yours.
    Striking plants and blooms, Daniel.

    Our vitex trees are beginning to bloom. We have two blues and one white. The white was bred by Texas A&M, and being a hybrid, we feared we lost it in last year's snow/ice event. It survived and is blooming nicely! Sorry the tree is not standing straight up, but the wind had other ideas.

    I like the looks of those trees. Do the blooms have any value for pollinators?
