Male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
arrive first. Females arrive later. We have seen some males that seem to be just stopping by to tank up on nectar and move on. This one, however, has been around all day and has been perching in a nearby tree to oversee the feeder. As you can see, he likes the pineapple sage.

Narcissus Salome
I've always been disappointed with Salome until it bloomed for me in Zone 6. It's prettier here in the cooler temperature.

Calibrachoa 'Superbells' Scarlet'
in a hanging basket is now on the deck. Last year I had a yellowish one. It bloomed profusely, and lived long into the winter before finally succumbing to the cold. It must be placed in a protected spot for the stems are very brittle and break easily. Soon it will be large and covered with blossoms
New Guinea Impatiens 'Super Sonic' Red '04'
Blossoms are so huge on such a small plant.
While it is cool, I will enjoy the Fuchsia 'Shadow Dancer' Marcia'.

An Established Garden
Gardens are so perishable; they live on only in books and letters; but what has gone before is not lost; the future is the past entered by another door. Elizabeth Lawrence.
Have you ever fantasized of buying an established garden and watch what magically appears thoughout the seasons? That's what Beautiful At All Seasons is about.It's cherry blossom time. I've added weeping cherries to the garden this year.
