Milkweed

We moved four milkweed plants from in front of the paddock to the garden.  They're all drooping a bit now, but perhaps they'll take.  They have the strangest roots --just one big root, really, that make a T at the bottom.  But none of the little stringy roots most plants have.  We watered them in well, and we're hoping for the best.

It's 73 and really humid today.  Maybe storms later.  We got less than a quarter inch of rain yesterday, so some more would be welcome.

The alliums mixed in with the siberian iris are beginning to bloom --there are yellow and pink so far.  I hope they'll seed themselves and spread.
