These 6-ft. tall radish flowers bloom in his vegetable garden. They smell lovely - not at all like radishes.
On the west side of the house, the lavender needs to be beaten back as it's taking over the round garden. My determined creeping rosemary, which is now sharing with the lavender, just sneaks out from under all those flowers.
The lantana is beginning to be a proper size bush. It's a gift from the wild birds that I feed at the back of the house. Its parent plant in a shady spot on the east side isn't doing nearly as well.
All this is the result of a winter full of gentle rain and now, the late spring sun. I'm going to enjoy it while I can. My rocking chair is well used as the air warms. Summer is coming.
