Nestled between the East Side and the Driveway is a block bed that I have creatively designated Bed E square. It is square--and is on the east side of the driveway. Is that a good excuse for my lack of creative naming? Things start blooming here--inside and out--in March with a crocus or two. The last blooms--in June and early July--are the lilies outside the bed and a huge queen of the prairie on the inside. In-between there are some daffodils in late April, a wild geranium in early May, two iris in late May and two Siberian iris in late May as well. The German iris are a mango and an orange variety. The two Siberian beauties are dark purplish blue. It is a nice contrast. The lilies are a variety of colors, and the queen is pink--and tall. A lovely dianthus resides here as well. All in all, it's a lovely little island of beauty. And not all the iris in here have bloomed yet! Could be even better! Oh, a bunch of cosmos comes back every year outside of this bed.
