The first Foxglove (a 'volunteer' in this particular spot) is also in bloom today. It is surrounded by Lavender, which will soon bloom, and Monarda, which will take a little longer still. For one reason, I am assiduously pinching it, to keep it branching and relatively short; last year, I was not quite so diligent, and as a result the Monarda was prone to flopping over in a good rain. Upright they are prettier than half laying on the ground!
