California Gardening: What's happening in your spring garden #3, 1 by crystalspin

Yes, the only problem with my Ledger's Iris is its position in the walkway makes getting a good frontal photograph impossible. And the fact that it blooms only in the spring, but I guess that's true of all iris.

I also have blooming Salvia coccinea "Lady in Red" (seen in the corner of the first iris pic) and two scented geraniums (see below) from wcgypsy. The white is Nutmeg-scented and I forget what the hot pink one is scented (Sherri?).

Salvia sagittata from DrDon is blooming as well as S.scabra from wcgypsy, but neither photograph well. I have Veronica Georgia Blue, but the large center area died, leaving scattered (but intense) blue that perfectly matches S.glechomifolia -- again, pics of scattered blue flowers do not do well for me.

My azalea 'Picotee' and neighboring Indian hawthorne are slowing down now, but the Mexican primrose are coming on daily more.
