My first iris of the season has bloomed this morning. Some of my daylilies are not doing well. I don't know if it is the aphids or the soap bath I gave them to combat the aphids. At any rate, I'm going to be much more careful about soaping them in the future. I think perhaps the solution was too strong. Some of the coreopsis foliage is getting white fungus on it, as it is wont to do. Everything else is doing well. I am hoping for a good rain in the next few days. > index of garden 2002 > home garden 2002 > > email Alice
