I had no idea that this angelica plant would get this big! Planted it last year and it has a two year life cycle. It needs shade - not sure that I have enough shade to grow more than one of these guys!

Lilies
These short lilies are just a bit of a preview for the tall lilies that will be blooming later this summer!
Red, white and blue!
Didn't plan this (the daisy self-seeded), but a bit of red (yarrow), white (daisy) and blue (salvia) on display!
Sundrops and catmint
Planted these sundrops (oenethera fruticosa - not the common variety!) last summer and they have started blooming.
They will bloom all summer. I love how big the flowers are!
In the fall, there will be triangular seed heads left behind.

Wren House
I love birds and gardening provides wonderful opportunities to be outside observing the birds. One of my garden club members, Dean, surprised us with a wren house. Beautifully made and painted a bright yellow, it looks so inviting hanging in my oak-leaved mountain ash tree. It is a bit late for nesting wrens this year, but maybe next year, it will be home to a family. Wrens are very territorial, so I've placed this a good distance away from my other bird houses.
New planters!
I searched and searched for new planters - I wanted them to be blue and I needed a matching pair. Found these at Bachman's and filled them with yellow flowers - a canna, lantana, million bells and sweet potato vine.
