Crinodendron hookerianum sustained some winter damage but didn't die and is now blooming. Knock on wood, it's been in place for four years and hopefully it'll have enough strength to withstand any future winters.

Here's some of what's blooming in the Outlaw Garden this May:
Rhododendrons
Roses
Rosa sericea pteracantha
Cecile Brunner
A NOID old rose, a cutting brought from a huge old bush at our previous home.
R.rugosa 'Yankee Lady'
Zephirine Drouhin
Camellias
Calycanthus 'Hartlage Wine'
Begonia boliviensis
Funky flowered pelargonium that made it through the winter in the glass room.
Meconopsis cambrica
Polygonatum multiflorium
Gardenia 'Kleim's Hardy' just came home, still in it's pot so it's probably earlier than it would be if it were in the ground.
Agapetes 'Ludgvan cross' seems very happy to be back outside!
Columbine
Forget-me-nots (Myosotis something or other)
Sedum palmeri
Snowball viburnum that has been cut down many times. (how do you kill this thing?) and Kolkwitzia amabilis
Alstroemeria 'Rock 'n' Roll'
Paeonia delavayi
Another peony whose name I've forgotten
This honeysuckle is looking lovely but I haven't detected any evening fragrance on this one.
Always the last daffodil to bloom for me are these inherited Narcissus poeticus, one of the first daffodils brought into cultivation.
Ceanothus 'Dark Star' with Euphorbia 'Fireglow'
Ribes speciosum
Clematis 'Queen Josephine'
Variegated and very fragrant ceanothus.
More columbines
Aesculus pavia
Abutilon vitifolium is totally hardy here and grows into a short lived small tree.
Allium
Dodecatheon frigidum almost finished blooming
Crinodendron hookerianum sustained some winter damage but didn't die and is now blooming. Knock on wood, it's been in place for four years and hopefully it'll have enough strength to withstand any future winters.
