A clover blooms amid the lemon thyme, a charming invader, and the butterfly weed is cheerful and bright though not yet fully in bloom.
The Japanese Dappled Willow waves its green, pink and white flag-leaves in front of a bed of spent iris, while sunlight and shade dapple the garden trail.
This spicy pink dianthus blooms along the trail, and furthur down a single blue campanula has appeared this year. Many of my pansies are whithering away in this dry dusty season, but these blue beauties offer a splash of cool color.
Nothing cool about these bold and beautiful, Baby Sun Coreopsis!

The last of my peonies to bloom is an unknown cultivar... full, pink and old-fashioned and my most fragrant variety. This delicate mallow seems poised for flight, though if I lived among the herbs and roses as she does, I wouldn't be in any hurry to fly away.
Photo note: These were taken on Friday afternoon so that my daughter could borrow my camera for an event this weekend... The stroll and narrative, however, are from today. All photos by Aisling.
