Lovely Yellow

Jamaican Dream iris along with Graham Thomas
David Austin Rose. I took this photo
after our lovely rain stopped. 

Jamaican Dream Iris

Jamaican Dream iris. This is another one I bought
two years ago - and it just bloomed for the first
time today. I paired it with the
Graham Thomas David Austin rose.

First day for the Superstition iris to
bloom. I moved this last summer over by the
Abraham Darby David Austin rose.

I love this new iris

Pairings

I paired the Spin-off iris with Graham Thomas
David Austin rose. The rose finally opened. We
had a very nice rain yesterday and this
morning.

Footloose iris with JFK rose in the shade garden. I have now
found my white iris. I will move it around
later on.

July 25th In Texas - Beauty Can Still Be Found

Sunflower - I think it needs some water.

Graham Thomas David Austin rose. This has
to be, to me, the most beautiful
color of yellow I've ever seen. 

Red Knockout rose

This zinnia is huge in size and is such a beautiful
color of pink. It measures 5" across.

This is not a gardening photo, of course, but this
is what I'm working on until this unrelenting heat
subsides. I started this quilt in 1983
when my children were little, so I didn't
get to work on it much at that time. The 100+ temps
 send me into house
by 9:30 a.m.

A Few Wildflowers
