Sunday in The Garden

^More Columbine^

^New Bearded Iris^

^A Surprise Visitor^ This was the first time I saw an Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata) anywhere near my house, never mind in my backyard sitting on my ferns and astilbe.

Due to two thunderstorms and 3 inches of rain, not much else was happily blooming, but I didn't have to water anything...
