We have white and purple lilacs, on bushes large enough that the prunings provide fodder for the turning lathe:
Lily of the valley:
Peonies (not quite out yet):
Whatever this is:
A closer look reveals two shrubs growing together, Bridal Wreath Spirea:
And Grey Dogwood (entirely unlike our southern dogwood, but pretty in its own right):
Dame's Rocket, a noxious weed if it has escaped from an ornamental garden, so we'll keep an eye on it. I think it's quite pretty.
It looks to me as if Mary was cultivating a white and purple garden. I know there are purple iris. I can't wait to see what color the peonies are.
