Kasey says 'peek-a-boo"

Oh! The bronze iris! My colors!

Again I like all the blue/violet blooms.

Sue - your bearded irises are so much more ahead of mines. Not even at the bud stage yet. I love your bronze one too!

Thanks Dianne! The little ones usually start the earliest and I now have several buds developing on the tall bearded.

Lovely irises Sue!

I love the bronze iris too!

Noid zygopetalum in bloom:


Ornithogalum dubium continues on its with its blooming:


Such a lovely day today! Just perfect temps and very calm for a change!

Perfect day here too! Nothing to post, because I spent the day cleaning up beds so I can plant what I bought yesterday. I'm beat! I do have a Zygo. hybrid blooming, but haven't had a chance to take pics.

First blooms ever for this young plant....brought home as a seedling last year....
Variegated Tree Mallow....

Prostanthera ovalifolia variegata.....

The variegated prostanthera grew to that size from a 4" pot in one year. I picked it up in McKinleyville, but it came from Emerisa....lol..

Wow, that's a lot of growth in one year! Is it invasive like most mints?

It's lamiaceae and 'minty', but no, not a spreading mint as you must be thinking....

Big Aeonium continues its swan song blooming:

NOID iris that came with the house


claret cup cactus


amaryllises


'Double Picotee'


'Exotic Star' or a cross involving 'Exotic Star'


'Fairytale'




NOID


maybe a cross involving 'Double Picotee'


probably a cross involving a Mead's strain


unknown prickly pear

I brought indoors my zygopetalum so I can enjoy its lovely scent:

Beautiful AND scented! Can't beat that. I give priority to scented plants every time.
