More Spring.

5-27-15 SHORT HILLS: We’re back in NJ, and it’s hot and humid summery weather. It’s also dry and we need rain, but all the rain is in Texas.

With all the trees and shrubs in leaf, our yard changes from bright to shady and becomes divided into ‘rooms’ separated by the leaf screens so that the broad vistas are gone and to see the whole yard requires a walk around.

New blooms: English holly, tree peony, arrowwood viburnum, star-of-Bethlehem, clematis, white lamium, gill-over-the-ground, dwarf lilac.


Clematis at the base of the bird house.

Star-of-Bethlehem looks like grass all spring until it flowers.

Tree Peony - that's a flower.

More clematis.

Dwarf lilac. It only gets to be five feet tall. Syringa patula 'Miss Kim'.
