Mid-May Flowers


Keep finding more plants that didn't come up, it's quite discouraging.
Two Erodium from last year didn't survive and I even planted them in the ground.
An Edelweiss from Edelweiss Perennials, Leontopodium discolor did not make it either. Still have lots of things blooming about the estate.

Current Blooms:
 Lewisia, cotyledon "sunset strain"
 A weed as yet unidentified by me
 Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum L., in the East Foundation Garden, can be invasive and some consider it a weed. The USDA lists this plant as a noxious weed by the states of Alabama and Connecticut.
 It is pretty though.
 Creepy phlox.
 A new Azalea
 Spanish Bluebells
Sweet Woodruff, shares 2 gardens with the Peri-vinkle and is getting elbowed out. I probably should segregate the two, would hate to lose more plants.

Beers in the Fridge:
Sapporo, it's Japanese and they have a Museum in Sapporo on the Island of Hokkaido in Japan. Sapporo is about 10 hours from Tokyo by train or a 16 hour direct sleeper which a few websites say is short lived. A flight takes about 1.5 hours.

Paulaner Hefe-Weizen wheat beer.
