Late May & early June.

The early spring flowers have faded

and others take their place.
Peonies are so beautiful and fragrant.
I have the pale pink and the dark pink
or fushia variety.   As I left for work one
morning, I noticed the blooms were just
opening (top two pictures), then when
I arrived home that evening, they were
in full bloom.  Notice the aunt on one
of the blooms.  If you know anything
about peonies, you know that the blooms
will not open without the presence of aunts.

Lilacs are one of the most fragrant
of the spring flowers.  This bush is several
years old; 2006 is the first time it has
bloomed to this extent; it did not bloom
well in 2007 but did bloom profusely in 2008.

Dwarf Stella Del Oro Daylilies
They start blooming near the end of spring
and continue through most of the summer.
Could have put these on my Summer Flower page
but I was getting too many pictures on that page.
I planted a couple of similar lilies that are reddish
purple just to break up some of the golden yellow
color but the darker ones are not blooming yet.
The large orange day lilies below also start blooming in
the late spring and continue into the summer.
