As if to say Welcome Summer, this lilly was the first in the tub garden. Trapdoor snails and anachris complete the tub along with a small umbrella palm (watch out they really spread!!) and another water lilly. Might find a few guppies to add in here too.

The pear tree that produces such wonderful fruit. We've got a lot of fruit developing this year. The apricot did not fare as well -- it was hit by frost at the wrong time.

Here is a parting shot of one of my favorite flowers...the wonderful, humble daisy. Just love seeing them bending in the breeze...
