the flowering begins

Good morning.
It's been a very busy week in the Salon and it continues today and tomorrow.
We've had a mini heat wave this week, with temps into the low 80's. Of course, I haven't been able to enjoy them since I've been working.  :-(
And of course, just in time for my weekend, the temps are forecast back into the 60's.
I just hope it's dry so I can get out side stuff done.
I have been outside every morning for about an hour before I went to work, and I've been able to really get a handle on the flower beds.
And speaking of flowers, here's some of what's blooming right now....

Purple columbine.

Cupids dart.

Above, my sedum garden. No flowers, but the different sedums are pretty
