Not “exactly” the look I was going for

Every year the clover comes up before the gardens really start to bloom. This year the clover is very healthy. It is not exactly the look I was going for, but there is nothing else for the bees right now, except the clematis. I will keep the clover for another week or so until we start to get some blooms elsewhere. That will probably be the Guacamole hosta and the Asian lilies first, and then the Elegans and Blue Mouse Ears hostas, before finally the daylilies.

Clover, over and over

 

I have a thing about clover.  I know they are considered a weed, but Dad got me going on keeping some of the clover for the bees.  I noticed, however, that we are getting some in the grass now and that’s probably not great.  I will reluctantly pluck that.  But the adorable new species ‘Blue Mouse Ears Clover’ (pictured above) gets to stay 😁
