The glads have started to bloom.  I didn't stagger plantings of any of the bulbs this year so all of them will come in at once or close to it.

Large leaves of my begonia show the glads well I think

I have to bring in what few blooms have made it so far this year because the Japanese beetles are horrible this year.  The are eating up anything that grows.

I purchased a few succulents and love how this one looks in the frog planter
