I barely got out into the yard today when it started raining. About the wettest spring on record. Lots of flooding around here but my place is on a hill so no worries here. Feel awful for a lot of other folks not so lucky.
I was able to get a few pictures while out this morning.
#1 is Bletilla japonica Yokohama - an exotic looking orchid which is easy to grow. This plant has about a dozen blooming stems each with 5-6 buds which open one or two at a a time.
#2 Forever Susan Asiatic lily
#3 Hydrangea serrata Beni gaku. Really pretty transition from pure white on opening (today), then the petals gradually turn to a deep red. The transition takes a couple months. Pretty all along the way.
#4 Stewartia pseudocamellia. Beautifully ruffled white petals. My favorite flowering tree.
#5 Spigelia marilandica. My original plant from 20yrs ago died out but there are always a couple seedling plants scattered around.
