A dramatic photo of a calla lily.

Below are four photographs of another plant I've been told is called a violet (βιολέτα) and which was here in the garden from before.  I've trimmed them and taken cuttings and transplanted them.  They bloom in March.


The two following photos are of one of the several bushes of Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica), Ιαπωνική κυδωνιά) I planted last spring in a semicircle centered on the big pine tree a meter beyond the iron ring shown in the April  post.  As frequently occurs in this garden their first year in this garden was a rough one (presumably as their roots push there way through the dense clay of the soil).  I was pleased and surprised when all of them (with one exception which I both stepped on repeatedly and weed-whacked once) bloomed profusely.  Relative to their size, of course.


Finally, a glimpse of things blooming in what I call the main flower bed. More detail in later posts...
