Lovely, Allison! The iris are so colorful......

think most are from Celeste :::blush:::

Saw the first turkey today. DH made her understand she wasn't wanted here. Hope she got the idea from another time. don't need them scratching up our beds for dust baths. soil should be too wet for it after rain last night.

Iris season,Lilies next

Couldn't open that, Jo! Would love to see the iris......Lucy, I have an awful problem with turkeys, too....they eat all my tender plants.

the city of gold & the baptisia are perfect!!!.. looking great JoAnn

some more from today.. think the jack in the pulpit was from Karen... thank you Karen .. if I am right

Pretty clem.....

JoAnn Love seeing the bear all surrounded by pretties! Nice show

Allison, wonderful collection of Iris and a stunning clematis. Love the old fashion droopy iris (second one), but I am really having Clematis envy.

I took shots yesterday, and here is one long view plus a couple of others. Wha should note that the big sprinkler in the background in the veggie garden is the one he gave us. It is our biggest helper. Thanks again. Out to move some plants and to dig up some to share with a good friend who has move space to fill and empty pockets. Patti

Beauties here from Jo, Allison and Patti. I especially love Patti's and Jo's long shots because it shows what I have yet to do--define the plants' spaces where they grow, and not let them run amok.

Thanks.. love your blue & yellow Iris!!.. I went clem crazy last year.. always nice to be worth the wait

Ha Allison, that's what I was going to say!!!

and you know I love that Blue and Yellow
Whew, it's hot out there, just touring the yard and watering the containers
Allium
Malva Zebrina
Centaurea

Awesome photo of the dog next to the JM, Patti! Also, what geum is that? Love that allium, Jen.

neat allium Jen!!.. hey speaking of geum... Jen I don't think I saw yours from last year
:(

Robindog, Here are the ones that have bloomed so far. I hope the others bloom this year too especially Mrs. Bradshaw which is a red one.
1 Geum Mai Tai Jmaple bed east
2 and 3 Geum Alabama Slammer Jmaple bed west
4 Geum Mango Lassi dell south bed

RosemaryK, glad you like the long shots. Here is another from today of my favorite spot down by the endless stream which is where that Geum Mango Lassi is planted. Big day as I finally finished putting the cages around the tomatoes, so the veggie bed is all put in, now just have to weed, water and eat. Patti

really nice patti and glad the sprinkler is working out!

I like Alabama slammers!!!

Love everyone 's pictures. Patti, what is the iris in the 4th picture, the peach colored one?

Granitegneiss, that little gem of an iris is Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris 'Tiny Dancer'. Patti

Just love Mai Tai....also really like the white primrose. I bought some North Hill strain from WFF last year...they haven't bloomed yet.

Allison I'm pretty sure the foliage stays around all winter, when did you notice it missing?

Rose Campion

that allium is Allium ostrowskianum

Thanks, Jen.

just last week.. but the seeds were all over it last fall.. maybe I will get lucky

First Daylily of the year Stella D'oro

Wow....mine don't even have buds yet.

Some new conifers this year:
Abies balsamea Piccolo
Platycladus orientalis Franky Boy

And two that were new last year, doing well now:
Picea orientalis Tom Thumb
Picea abies Pusch

I'm still waiting for the first iris to bloom, and the conifers give me comfort up here in the north
;-)
Wynne

Lovely Wynne, I really like that Abies balsamea Piccolo, perfect little mound!!

Patti those geums are beautiful....I think I need some newer ones. ^_^
