    @Loofah Ballerina maybe? Is it scented?

    Some more tulips while they’re still standing…

        First rose of the season, For Your Eyes Only. Loved by pollinators and so prolific.

                  Lamprocapnos ‘Amore Rose’, I think, though I couldn’t find the label anywhere.

                          Flowers of our Sarracenia leucophylla. Difficult to get in close as they all look down but what superb colour. The pitchers are slowly developing.
