May Yard

	I'm not a big Amaryllis fan, but these do add spice to the dark, damp corner of the side yard. Daffodils at right.



	I bought these Dahlias in bags from Costco, too.
Our neighbor who moved last June gave us these Geraniums, which lasted all winter and are in full bloom now.
	Here is the Costco hydrangea, still beautiful! My existing Hydrangeas are getting buds now.
Yes, these lillies also came from Costco. They had a $3 off coupon and you could use it on more than one bag of bulbs. :)
		I love my Nearly Wild Rose. I had lots of them in the yard at the old house. I'm trying to break the rose habit here. Too much black spot.
	<- The apple tree has a lot of fruit growing The grapevine is coming back with bigger leaves ->

		Above & Left: The fig tree has lots of little fruit on it
	Blue flowers on this Plumbago plant. I always forget the name.

Above: Butterfly bush, Gardenia and Black-eyed Susans
	Pink and white Dahlia


The daylilies are really going nuts. They started off as just a lot of buds in the beginning of May and are in full bloom by the end of the month.

	I love Lantana in lots of colors.
		Left: Gerbera Daisies and a Lilac bush
Right & Below: My hanging tomatoes are doing well, except for some blossom end rot on one container.

	Left: one of three perennial Hibiscus I planted last year near the pond - lots of buds! Right: existing Hydrangea

Above: Still no idea what this neat tree is. The red flowers are gone by the end of May
	Left - I think this is a Japanese Red Maple Right - The Pomegranite still has a few flowers on it
		A Heron has been eating the fish out of the pond. I put bird netting over it to try to stop it.
	To the left you can see the Rosemary to the right of the bench and the pink Ruellia to the left. In the foreground are more red Dahlias.
		The redbud above was a tiny Arbor Day Foundation stick. It is growing near some new Gerbera Daisies.
	The Verbena are still flowering. (left) Know what the tree to the right is?
This is all over the side yard. I don't know what it is, but it is pretty common here.
