First Bouquet, 2008


On June 4th I finally picked my first garden bouquet - here is a combination of Siberian iris, catmint (Walker's Low which I love and seems to be deer-proof), and lupines. I had gathered seed from the roadside to get the lupines and planted them last fall - now we have a few although I expect they will all be blue. It's been a very slow start to the garden and we have had several plants blooming, but it was a thrill to actually pick the first garden bouquet and soon the wildflowers should really start to show their stuff! Today, June 8th, the first daylily opened with two blooms, aptly names 'June'!
