Yes, I've also wondered what will be left for July and August. On the other hand...my day lilies usually bloom well before the black eyed susies but they are only barely getting started. The lantanas seem a bit slow, too.

I have no explanation. I've just decided to enjoy whatever happens. This is the first year that ALL my hydrangeas have grown like crazy and bloomed all over. Even the gardenia planted by the previous owner is about to bloom. Interesting....

My Spring plants were sad bloomers this year, including my dogwood which generally puts on a grand show. Usually it is full of blooms but I think I could have counted the blooms this year on my fingers. The only exception were my scraggly looking azalea. My Summer plants are growing and blooming like crazy though.

It seems like it got hot real quick.. like we skipped over Spring almost completely and with all the rain it is super humid outside even when it is dry for days. It feels like stepping into a sauna when I go out my back door.

This is my fourth season at this house and a lot of my perennials were put in the ground the second season. I've just been chalking it up to the whole sleep, creep, leap thing.

But I love how full of buds and blooms all the hydrangeas are. One that was back in the deep shade has never bloomed, but it has a number of blossoms coming. I planted a tiny start of 'Lady in Red' hydrangea, that has struggles for years and this year it is blooming. I'll take it!

Yes.. my iris ensata are blooming (a month early).

My coneflowers are blooming ahead of their companion bee balm. Messes up my combination!

There are others, too.

So I'm not the only one who noticed! I have fall blooming Aster that is blooming now and it's only June 1st. Other plants are off, too. Weird weird weird.

Mine have been all over the place, too. Kind of fun in a way.

Is it odd for crape myrtles to be blooming in late May? Seems odd if I compare it to seeing them on our first trip here in 1984 and they were blooming in August.
Course, we went from 7b to 8a according to the hort. weather maps so guess that explains it.

It seems like ALMOST EVERYTHING in my garden has decided to bloom this week. I don't usually have peak summer bloom until mid-July. At least the August bloomers still look normal.

Same thing here, it's just too weird seeing toad lilies blooming in May/June!
