This is the first year Blue Light is so splendid. She took the rain and cold fairly well and has more buds and blooms to open. Her friends have started to open also.

The Alliums generally last quite a while and don't look so bad even when dry. Unfortunately the foliage looks much like straw, even though they've been trimmed. The Schubertii from last year never bloomed, so I put in 4 more last September. Hoping for at least one. Planted several others, including a blue one and am anxious to see what blooms. A few of the stems and blooms died before opening, which is unusual for Alliums, but I won't know which ones they are. Any day now the peonies will be vying for attention.
