... out in the garden.

Iris ensata 'Darling' .
Over the last weeks the sparkling fairy dust of spring has blown away, to be replaced by some hardcore herbaceous consolidation. All quite satisfactory. Iris ensata has started to flower. I bought a few new varieties through the winter, and am waiting to see what they turn out like. The first to flower has been this traditionally shaped pink form. Great in a pot so far, eventually it will need a large wet border, and if it keeps raining, I will have one.

Paeonia 'Moon of Nippon'.
I bought this last year as a dry root because the picture on the label looked so good, even though my wet shady borders are hardly peony territory. I planted it in a pot to get it established and now it has flowered. With luck by next year the border will be a little more under control and I can plant it out.
