The Rain Finally Stopped.

5-26-25 VERMONT: Alison left Sunday morning, and Danna and Lily left this morning. We took care of chores, Judy converted the beds from winter to summer format, and I planted the flowers from Brown’s. They were: penstemon, P. barbatus, ‘Pink Pearl’, iris, I. Germanica, ‘Wintry Sky’, and poppy, Papaver orientalis, ‘Beauty of Livermore’. They all went on the pond bank beds. 

Today was beautiful, sunny with a little breeze that sometimes kept the black flies in check. I saw three turtles out in the afternoon sun today. Judy and I had dinner at Murphy’s and head back to NJ tomorrow.

 

The white flower is bane berry and the blue stuff is forget-me-not.

This three incher is bunchberry. Look at the flower. It should remind you of its relative the dogwood tree.
