rainy day musings

It's still raining, so I can't finish filling my outside containers, or wander around talking to the plants, so here I am again.  Here are some recent pics of what's happening in my garden.

Even though I knew not to buy a plant in full bloom, I brought home this iris last year anyway, not able to resist the fine tracery of brown on the falls.  It rewarded me with three perfect flowers this year.  And they smell heavenly.

Solomon's Seal never fails to amaze me.  After buying and killing at least 4 specimens, now they have finally caught on and I've even divided them. 

A lovely blue centaurea from Carolyn is doing very well.
