YAY ANNE!<\/p>\n<p>But I did get some new flower pr0n. I completely missed the blooming of the peonies while I was sick. Now the scarlet petals litter the ground after the storms earlier this week beat everything to the ground. And my chives! My chives are a mess!<\/p>\n<p>But other things are blooming, and when I sat out on the deck this morning, the wind was blowing, and I could smell flowers. <\/p>\n<p>It almost made up for the constant traffic.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s some more flower pr0n under the cut.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/random_michelle\/2559263235\/\" title=\"Lady's Mantle by Random Michelle K, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3126\/2559263235_f99e887c85.jpg?resize=500%2C369\" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" alt=\"Lady's Mantle\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was actually trying to get a picture of the way the light was dappling both the astilbe and the Lady&#8217;s Mantle, but astilbe is hard to photograph, especially against the bright red deck.

No, I don&#8217;t have a clue what cultivar this is.
