Today, they are this tall:

I’m pleased that my trellis has held up, even though it is sagging with the weight of the plants. I’ve added some more twine in places to keep the craziness somewhat in check:

Also this week, the purple irises are in bloom:

And the clematis reached the top of the right side of the trellis but has yet to open up:

Also in bloom, the weigela:

My friend Gina informs me that what I thought was a really pretty weed in the middle of the shady hosta corner is in fact columbine:

One more from last week, I think this is spirea:

So pretty and delicate! Thanks to my Aunt Kay for helping me identify all these plants last summer!
