This summer's flowers #8

The west side of the house with all the Veronica, aka speedwell, that I have planted on the sand steps. Immediately to the left of the retaining wall, three ferns. Climbing the hill: hosta, blueberries, irises, various succulents, some azaleas.

Closer up of a hosta. The hostas came back from last year. I thought they were dead; I didn't see a sign of them when I planted the irises, but then they came up. That's why they're a bit mixed in with the irises.

A somewhat blurry shot of the French lavender by my kitchen window, around the brick corner.
