It’s weigela time.

.

.

A deciduous shrub that has definitely enjoyed the over abundance of wet weather we’ve had this year.

.

.

It always blooms…

.

.

But rarely this much.

.

.

And the hummingbirds are loving it as much as we are.

.

.

Elsewhere in the gardens…

.

.

Snow in summer.

I’m not sure of its real name, but that’s what we always call it.

.

.

An early bloomer that tends to shrivel up and die in the dry heat of July and August, it’s putting on a lovely show now…

.

.

Unlike its poor yarrow neighbor that the woodchucks have nibbled down to a nub.
