We have had so much rain in the past week, with the coolest spring that I can remember. I finally got the last of the clematis from Brushwood planted last Friday, and they have been well watered with the many inches of rain that we've had. The garden has burst forth with blooms, and thanks to our cooler weather, the blooms are lasting much longer than in years past. Thanks to this crazy weather, I still have tulips and muscari blooming, that should have been done since last month or before. The clematis are doing really welll, along with the irises and peonies. I've taken close to 2000 pictures over the last 1-2 weeks, and spent several hours sizing them this evening so that I could finally share them.

The first picture is Arabella with Itoh peony Misaka and Wladilawa, the second picture is the 2nd Arabella with Iris Gnu Blue, and the last 3 pictures are different views of Crystal Fountain, which is blooming the best every, since it wasn't harshly trimmed for this spring.
