After a long winter and a delayed start - there is finally color on the hill!





If the warm weather continues it should be at peak by the middle of next week!

Lovely. which is the dark red plant which has a great clump.

Lovely!

Lucy That red is a patch of Cracklin' Burgundy.

Now that's what I call an Iris patch! Beautiful!!

It's more like an Iris field! Very nice, can't wait to see it when all of them are open.

My list keeps getting longer and my yard isn't getting any larger! Cracklin' Burgundy is something, ain't it?

Really nice!

Pam -- I love your garden shots -- how I wish I could have an Iris garden like yours!!

Then I see that wheelbarrow filled to overflowing and it reminds me how much work is required for a garden that size. Don't think I'm up for that anymore. But I sure love to look at yours!!!

Thanks for the ID, Pam.

Thanks All!

Mary Ann Last year I started hitting the weeds really hard with Preen and another pre-emergent and a grass killer. I am not a big fan of chemical warfare - but I am also not so young and limber anymore. The knees and back were doing way too much complaining.
There is still a lo of work, but it is at a manageable level now.

OK - time for the tour! This is newer stuff, well for me anyway, in the order that they have bloomed.

Nice blooming collection.

Nice pictures Pam... Everytime I see 'Daughter of Stars', I think I should get it.. must add to my wishlist-with a star.
And in the, "There's no hope for me" dept... I misread 'Drinks at Sunset' as 'Drunks at Sunset'... I mishear song lyrics too.
