Garden Color in April 2010

About 20 douglas iris were planted under the canopy of a 30-year old Santa Rosa plum tree.  Several different colors were used, this is one of my favorites:

Prunus Virginiana, common name chokecherry, is a tree that was about 8' tall when planted and has grown to over 12' in the last 8 months.  This is one of the two chokecherries that will be screening plant along the fence.  It produced a profusion of flowers in April:

Two Ceanothus arboreus (tree lilac) are included, this one is planted near a south-facing wall and is doing quite well:


The California aster has begun to bloom with its bright yellow daisy-like flowers.  These plants like to spread and they seem to be easy to propagate through cuttings.
