Hot dry spring for us. I love it! We had a late frost that messed a few things up.
Here is Ceanothus 'Julia Phelps' hanging out with Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit' aka 'Ancot', and Peony 'Bartzella'.
'Bart' is more yellow than I captured in my snapshot, and looks nice with the blue. I like the blue with the lime green new leaves. I can't take pride in the combo because I didn't know the new growth was that color when I planted it. In the fall they are a glowing apricot color.
