I spent a huge chunk of yesterday helping a friend transplant bits of his garden from his old house to his new house. We must have dug up at least forty irises and tons of peonies, marigolds, and various other plants. He was kind enough to split some of the clumps with me, and he's planning to split me some white dutch irises that are already growing at his new place.

What's growing on with you all?

I am stunned by how crisp those hoverflies in the photo are! And those lovage flowers are spectacular

Thanks! Take enough rapid fire photos, you have a decent chance of getting a good one. 😅

I did not expect the lovage to be such a hit with the bugs! That was a pleasant surprise. I think it's the most ladybugs I've seen on one plant.
