Late May Flowers at Rainbow's End

 Poppies - just in time for Memorial Day!  Thank you, veterans.

 Alliums, a punctuation mark in my garden.
Allow seedheads to dry in order to share seeds.

Perennial bachelor buttons. 
When goes to seed, yellow finches will flock in for a free dinner.

 Rhodo

 Alliums multiply quickly and wherever they please.

 Columbines.  Sprinkle dried seedheads in empty spaces.
Think salt and pepper shakers.

 Shasta daisies.  A happy flower.

 Snowball bush, inherited from mom's father's side of the family.

 Siberian Iris.  Seedheads are loaded with seeds.  Save dried seedheads to share.

 Salvia.  New plants readily grow.

 Cantoon.  (The silver gray plant is rose campion.)

 Ajua, a ground cover comes in pink and purple.

 Rosa

 Azalea.  Netted and sprayed over the winter to keep deer at bay.

 Chive blossoms are also edible.

Columbine on a cloudy day (with iris on the right side).

Something new everyday here at Rainbow's End.
Iris are beginning to pop.  Peonies soon.  Buds on roses.
Was thinking everything blooming too soon
then realized this week will be June - already!
If the rain holds off, will plant vegetable seeds this week.
After all, Life Is a Garden Party!
