I planted these last year, and they came back much more full this year.

Some of my favorite mid-summer flowers!

I’m lying on the ground to get a picture of this peony against the sky; the sun is a little bright here, but I like how the flower looks huge!

We transplanted these peonies a few years ago, and finally this year they’ve nicely come back to grow multiple buds. So beautiful!

Tiny forget-me-nots.

A perennial called ‘Prairie Smoke’, just getting ready to open up.

A beautiful purple columbine, blooming.

Purple clematis flowers–after several years, our plant is finally producing tons of spring flowers!

Water drops on the tulip buds, from a couple weeks ago. Spring moves quickly into summer–now the tulips are completely done blooming, and summer is here!
