Jane is sharing her northern Illinois garden with us today.
This year the weather has been favorable for my plants to flourish, with periodic rain and warmth despite the windy conditions in northern Illinois.
More irises fill out this bed, with the smaller-flowered Siberian irises (Iris siberica, Zones 4–8) joining the beardeds. A clump of salvia (Salvia nemorosa, Zones 4–8) echoes the purple colors of the irises.

That flowering almond is beautiful!
Looks like you have had a great Spring.
Such a beautiful grouping of irises and salvia, etc.
Your Flowering Almond is really pretty, not sure I've ever seen one before, until now.
Wow everything looks so healthy and happy, and your shade bed-it's really thriving!
