Here's my Julia Child with iris...my own silly joke--the iris have names like "Butter Cream", names that seemed to belong next to Julia. Not sure of exact names, that bed's so overgrown I can't find tags anymore.
Here's my out of control artemesia with Memorial Day in the foreground and Burgundy Iceberg in the back. On the other side of the trellis, I have Red Eden. The purple allium were sure nice while they lasted! Not showing in this jumbled shot are the clematis on the trellis. I have deep purple, white, and a Florida Seiboldii which was declared dead 3 years ago. Guess it was just slow to wake up...later on in the season, purple echinacea fill in where I yank artemesia out. They are already in bud stage, so early!
I really need to get outside earlier in the day to take better pics. The wind is already strong so it's hard to get a stationary shot of anything.
