Finally Heatin' Up

Above is a close-up of the drumstick allium (Allium sphaerocephalon) just starting to open up. I like this bulb a lot but it does reseed and it blooms very late for an autumn planted bulb. However, a close-up like this does it justice. Not much time to blog as I'm in trouble with the wife for not taking today off. We did a lot of watering today and all grounds staff (Marv, Marianne, Terry, Jerry, Janice and I) were busy with multi-tasking. We were fortunate to have Debbie do some whirlwind weeding in our reception garden and the trifecta of Laurie, Terri and Kay planted and weeded a large area over the entire morning. Dr. Gredler was here doing his mowing and the two "Elders" came in to plant down in the fern & moss garden. Nice to see it warm up again and we look forward to our plants continuing to thrive. A nice soaking rain would be nice but we'll keep pouring the water on as needed. Nice shot below of the annual summer snapdragon (Angelonia angustifolia). I believe this is the variety 'AngelFace Blue BiColor' but I might be wrong. Angelonias are great annuals in a sunny spot.
