Iris in the Tulip Bed

Oh, this is so exciting! I have been moving plants around this spring, and I love to see things take hold and be happy!

The irises just LOVE the tulip bed. It's one of the only flowerbeds that has full sun, and they are thriving. I think I may move the rest of them down there, too.

I also moved the rose campion, and the phlox, which has had major powder mildew in previous years. I hoped that moving it away from the house would help control the mildew, but it's already getting a few spots at the bottom, so probably time for the fungicide! What joy!

Also noticed the phlox is doing well next to the peony, and the liatris that I planted several years ago has finally reappeared. Don't you love when plants do that? I didn't think they had survived. The lupine also made it through the winter in that garden. And the daylilies are getting monstrous. Probably that means it's time for another flowerbed!
