of the newer stuff

or, things that got moved- as I'm especially pleased when they do well. The sweet woodruff- still a nice height for stepping over. It's like a bright little surprise, when I walk around the back perennial bed. My youngest says "Oh, I thought it was a weed!" which amuses me becaue they look so pretty bright green.
I thought my yarrow had died, it disappeared right after I planted it. But there's a new tiny lacy sprig come up, so maybe it's okay. 
Near it one a plant I hadn't seen last year- do rabbits eat milkweed?- the common milkweed.
Up front a surprise in the stonecrop- I swear this seedling with the wedge-shaped leaves is a cardinal climber. It's growing now so that should tell me it's warm enough to plant my vines outside.
The oakleaf hydrangea I dug and moved this spring continues to do well. Soon I'll have to use up part of the leaf pile and shift the fencing container, to give it room!
My black and blue salvia finally emerged a week ago- looks like this will be a good spot for it.
