We are having an unusual Spring, with wild fluctuations in temperature, too much rain, lots of wind. In our yard, weeds look like they love it, I cannot keep up with them. After an auspicious start, peonies wilted or even rotted. Only roses and clematises are still looking good, as seen in the following photos I just took this afternoon.
Knockout Rose, the most popular these days. You see them everywhere.
Heritage Rose, small but with outstanding color and texture.
Clematis, a faithful flower that keeps coming back year after year.
Clematis after wind blew off its petals.
