when i went outside today to get the mail i decided to stop and look at what's growing in the garden in front of the building, where the irises are.

this pretty daylily! they don't really get much sun, but i think they look nice.

the flower things on the hostas are going to open soon too.

i don't know what these things are.

or these....are they weeds?

the hostas, this one is huge.

so many pretty leaves.

impatiens we planted a few months ago along the sidewalk. we have 4 and this one is blooming the most flowers.

a still young barberry.

some ivy growing next to our sidewalk. i wanted to train in up the walls of the house but my husband talked me out of it.
lots of rain and thunderstorms in the forecast :( at least today there was a lot of sun. i normally like rain and storms but i like my plants even more.
