I'm back home now, getting ready to be back in the old routine. The garden has really grown and bloomed while I was gone. This pale blue Veronica is so pretty - it's a little washed out in the photo. We saw one like it at Quail Crest farm a couple of years ago, and I was lucky enough to find one in a local nursery. It is thriving, and when it blooms I am reminded of that trip.

This azalea is so striking - I call it a Flame Azalea, but I'm not sure that's the right name. But it reminds me of the azaleas we saw on the Blue Ridge Parkway - they were orange and bright yellow.
