It's true. We had a very warm and very early spring in '09 and then this cold, long spring. I could enjoy "normal".

Alliums are nice because they are not greedy for attention. They are happy to be on the sidelines as accents to irises, lupines, clematis, etc.

I did try to find a solid purple and solid orange iris to combine with the purple lupine so I could make a collage for you. I struck out. It should be beautiful.

Allium and columbine are also a magical match.

It's only 42 degrees out so I'm staying inside until noon!
