Spring Colors

Clementine Double 
Columbine -
this comes back on its

 own every year.

Double Bridal Wreath
 Spirea
Third year for this 

shrub and its
starting to look

 beautiful!!

Poppies coming up. 
I don't think
they will bloom 

this year. My
sister-in-law gave some 

seeds to
me last fall. Not sure

 what kind they are

I've started a new bed
 in the front of the
house this year. The

 azaleas in the back
didn't do well - 

so I moved 2 here and
bought a new one

 as well. This is
Encore Autumn Bell

Sky Spirit Iris
All the iris are getting
larger and more

 spectacular looking in large
clumps of one color.

Hosta

I planted a geranium in a
tree stump - so far so good

Double Red Knockouts that
have survived the disease

Heirloom iris

Spin-off iris

I love all the green with just a little
bit of color mixed in.
This is a surviving single pink Knockout

I've added more of these Purple Oxalis around
the property. They have delicate
pale lavender flowers almost white

In the background is a tomato plant -
it's been unusually cool for this time of year and
I'm just now getting them planted.
Also planted a marigolds, basil and sweet peppers
to try to ward off bugs

This little clematis is still hanging on
It has been a very slow grower

Newly potted caladium

Row of double red Knockouts

The iris are really sparse this year.
Can't figure out why I have so few.
First time this has happened. Usually in
April they are just loaded with buds.

The new spanish lavender I planted several
weeks ago

Coreopsis with a large clump of
herb Rosemary in the background

The Delphinium is just
breathtaking!

A Tiger Swallowtail enjoying it.
Iris "Footloose" with caladiums and
snapdragons

Entrance to the garden - this is usually full
of iris blooms

My garden buddy Tigger passed away
this past January. He was 13. Miss you

Sunday in the Garden

Silverado Iris planted in front
of the double pink Knockout roses.

Red Knockouts starting to open

Moonlit Water iris getting
prettier every year.


Unknown white, love it mixed in with other
colors.

Golden yellow iris, which I lost the name

Row of double pink Knockouts
have really opened up today.

Spin-off iris along with double pink Clementine Columbine.
I started this from seed
last year and it returned on
it's own this year.

Continuing The Garden Transformation



When we first bought the house
in 2010
Trying to make the well
house not stick out like a sore thumb.
