Iris and Salvia
May is abloom in my terraced flower beds. The woods serve as a backdrop for these purple and white bearded iris and the purple salvia in the bed one step down. But pay attention to the center front--there's a daisy fleabane, a wildflower that is considered a weed when it grows among the flowers. I pulled some the other day, but evidently missed this one. Isn't that just like a weed--to get its face into the picture?
