Spring for the moment

Penstemon wrightii

We’re probably done with snow this year, and the temperature hasn’t quite hit 100℉ yet, though it’s come close. The big show is underway outside. Here are some of the early highlights.

Polemonium reptans does fine in the shade here with a little extra water.
