blooms

It's been a strange growing season. The other day Allyn mentioned that the lilies on the bank are starting to appear. She said that they usually don't show up until July. It had seemed to her that blooming was late earlier in the year, but now things are blooming earlier than normal. The other day I saw some Queen Annes's Lace which you normally don't see until August.
The black locust trees are one of my favorites. They usually bloom at the end of May which they did in northern Vermont. They didn't bloom at all down here. If the irises flowered this year, I didn't see it.
