The surprise is the lupine has a bud. I didn't think it would survive but it came back and this year will bloom. The peony is having another year with no buds. What a disappointment.
I had to find a location in full sun for the three hibiscus plants I got from Sherilynn. I decided to put them near the front entrance. See that rock?
I rolled it over and dug a hole there for them. I marked it with a stake so the mower guys down weed whack it. It's too windy today to spray liquid fence, but I will need to in order for the deer to stay away.
