It's cloudy and wet on this Monday morning in May.  The rain is welcome here in South Saint Louis.  A gentle rain upon the flowers is a bit of grace.  We may see up to a quarter of an inch of the heavenly moisture.  A good way to start the week.

The 'Campanula glomerata' or Clustered Bellflower has come into bloom here in the Garden. A lovely, charming perennial with upward-facing bell-shaped violet blue flowers.  The blooms keep coming from now until early Summer.  This is an easy to grow plant that is disease and pest free.  It is deer and rabbit resistant, and the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees absolutely love it.  A perfect border plant.

In mid-May there is a beautiful balance in the Garden.  No plant has taken up too much space, new growth has a softness and sheen, while promising crops in the vegetable beds have a neatness still.  The freshness of May is easily missed while we are busy "doing."  Yet, it is a special time that can slip through your fingers if you aren't careful.  This mid-month May is the perfect time to pause on a sunny evening and enjoy the poise and promise of the Garden.  Sit, relax, enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the pretty.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
