Snowmound and Others

I have more pictures that I will share today (and probably otheres for the weekend). First up is a picture of the Snowmound Spirea in full bloom. I thought that I had not gotten a picture of it in its full glory, but it was on another roll of film:

This is a shot of the pathway from the yard down to the AFOTFT. It is taken from below (looking toward the house). Not a bit of that is weeds. There is creeping thyme, creeping yellow sedum (I think it is what Cop Car has a problem with in her yard) and creeping phlox (top left). There is also a fern in the foreground - the ferns like that corner for some reason.

The next pictures are all of Chicago Peace. I put them below the fold so that I had time to tell you to protect your eyes - these really pop out at you:

A full bloom and bud:

Two blooms:

The same two blooms from a different angle:

Hope you enjoyed - I'll have some more this weekend.
