Garden Pics: Wish You Could See What I See...... #6

Thanks, Irwells, I was trying to get a feel for Texas. If he is near something like your garden then that would be great.

Bea, Your garden is wonderful! A chaos of color...it is exactly what I picture the perfect cottage garden to look like in the spring! You can post as many pics as you want of that color changing jacob's ladder...I drool every time. Have been looking every time I stop at a nursery...I will find myself one! Penny the frog with her bubble necklace is great too!

Redchic, that is an awesome purple rhodie! The color is SO deep! I really like the color of the "pink" anenome as well...even if it isn't supposed to be that way!

Irwells, I agree with everyone that says the view from your throne is incredible! What a beautiful courtyard, and lovely yard too.

Mom, Your rhodies look great! So does the iris...that one just openend for me yesterday too! (wonder where I got it? :P)

Since Mom posted the purple iris, I will skip my pic of it and post the yellow one that came out yesterday instead. Noid, but for a yellow it is very pretty.

And another double azalea opened last night. This is Rosebud. Can you tell that I love the double forms?

My deep orange exbury that the dogs very kindly pruned for me last year actually has one flowering branch this year.

And a brighter yellow iris close up. I just love the coloring and the beards of the iris.

Beautiful pictures everyone!! So many gorgeous colors and amazing gardens.

I finally got in mine for a while today.

All of my iris are opening now.

Another.

Love the color on this one.

Sally, Wow Wow Wow!!! Love all the iris, but the first one is WOW!

And this one.

Thank Julie, I like that one too. I'm drooling over Bea's colors too.

This doesn't show up good in a picture. The white is so crisp, it's really lovely.

Sally, That one topped the first one! Just gorgeous! Iris are really hard to get pics of in my opinion...maybe because of the odd shape.

Everything bloomed so well this year, guess they liked the awful winter we had. LOL

I agree about the pictures. I tried to get the centers, but some of them don't open up enough. Plus they're on a slope so it's hard to get the right angle without falling on my keister.

Here's one of my favorite spots to look at. Actually mom can see it from her favorite chair. It's in an area that is part hers and part ours, it got blended before either of us ever moved here and we've left it that way.

This from the opposite side. From the street looking toward the corner of her house.

And part of the iris bed. Note to self: must divide this year!!! Looking past my house to mom's deck.

Part of the reason I have trouble taking pictures is this furball that walks by and makes all the flowers sway!! LOL

Sally - so nice to see your garden. It's lovely!!

Thank you, it's still a work in progress. I didn't know how much it was lacking until on joined DG! LOL

Sally your garden is lovely! I really like that view of the iris bed. My few iris are scattered everywhere. I love yours!

Thanks RJ... I agree completely about the double forms! great pics of them too!

Sally, loved your iris pictures and the pretty views of your gardens. I was an iris nut back when I lived in Minnesota and still love them but have very few areas where they do well here because of lack of full sun. Daughter RJ has one lovely flowerbed in the sun that we have put most of my leftovers but, alack, not a huge variety of colors have survived. We have ordered more on occasion, but the slugs and the shade keep mine from being very good and her new colors are now just coming into their own.
Love the pciture of the iris with the furry underneath it.

Jan23, does he know what part of town he'll be in?

No, they are down there this weekend. Hopefully he can transfer his job. His girlfriend was transferred. She has a very good job. Her folks are in Texas as well. Don't know where, though.

Beautiful garden and flowers Sally.
