Golden Rain

The smell of iris' in bloom means summer to me, comfort, happiness, trips to grandma's house. The iris are in bloom. So are the wisteria. Their scent is so heady it is almost too much to take, rather like narcissi forced to bloom indoors. They are beautiful though.

And in the back corner, my golden rain tree is in bloom. It is terribly crowded by the plum tree next door as I planted too close to the fence and so did they, but looking out the back window is a very cheerful thing to do. I am putting in bedding plants and having a ball. I love my garden!
