The tulips are gone now, and the dogwood bloosoms are giving way to leaves, but other spring flowers are on display. The first of the clematis is blooming. We are particularly fond of these flowering vines, because they produce blooms throughout the summer.
The irises, like the white one above, are just beginning to bloom, too. There are yellow ones along the fence, as well, but the purple ones in the backyard beds are just now budding. Irises in our yard bloom later than others we've seen around town. We're not sure why, unless it's because so cool here because of all the sweetgum trees.
In the third snapshot above, a tiger swallowtail butterfly seeks nectar in an azalea blossom. The fourth photo is a closeup of phlox. This time of year provides a feast for the eyes.
