Serendib Garden

First peony starting to open.

Meadow rue / thalictrum, native.

I’m trying to inventory my irises — I used to have more variety, but somehow the blue and purple ones seem to have survived more. I should have a black one that isn’t open yet, and I thought I had more that were white, and pink… And where is my Pallida Dalmatica??? Will wait a

Alliums.

Columbine table and rose bookends — both came out well, whew. It’s always a little unnerving, the un-molding — you hope for wonderful, you fear disaster. 🙂

Meadow rue / thalictrum (native) — a nice, tall bloomer for shade (also comes in pinks and lavenders), with a pot of pansies behind.

Maybe clematis Etoile Violette? Not sure.

Native ‘spring beauty.’ I think I just have one right now (I’m sure I planted at least three, but the others may not have survived), and it’s sort of in an odd place, very hidden — I kind of want to move it, but am afraid I’ll lose it if I do. Hm.

Baptisia / wild indigo (native or cultivar, not sure), with an iris — maybe Hemstitched? I have a note somewhere, I swear…
