The showiest among them have peaked already, and as the solstice clock now begins winding downward toward darker days, I can't believe we're already half-way through the year. Gone are the peonies, irises, daffodils, tulips, lily-of-the-valley, the hyacinths and the early roses. There are things to be pruned back, and a few remaining new plants to go in, where I've focused on native plants and hopefully, hardy perennials that in the future won't require too much attention from me.
