Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day - Part 4

Dutch iris (bulbus) I have seen ads for it.

Love the shot, Flowerjen. I planted 10 of them 2007 and it was lovely, but sparse last year. Iris x hollandica 'Eye of the Tiger' Patti

Gorgeous garden, Patti. Truly beautiful.

Nice Iris Jen, looks pretty strong!
Great shot Victor!

Mid May: These 'wild roses' start popping up here and there, (great fragrance).

Great photo WC! There is a wild rosebush a few feet from my door--they grow everywhere around here. Capt. Kirk didn't know it was wild--kept chopping it up and spraying it with God knows what--hope he didn't kill it!

oooooooo! Did I mention oooooooooo? Luvly pics with incredible blues and yellows and pinks. One of my fav columbines; bright in full shade. Prolific self seeder (will collect this year to share).

Love the anther shadows on that one, WC!

LOL! Thanks, I have one that came with the house, very aggressive climber, invasive to a degree. Had canes 20' high in a juniper when I got here. I decided to keep it, cut it down to 8-10' high, - glad I did!

Just gorgeous! I love coming to this thread every morning...oops! afternoon?

Going with wha's theory of 'if you miss a day you can post 2': Geranium 'ballernina' ps Pixie the tulip from Jan 3rd is triumph tulip 'Happy Generation'

Pretty geraniums, Nutty.

Nice shot, WC! I love those too. Smell great.

d-nut, thank you for the name..I planted a bunch last fall with that name. ^_^
Also, I planted that geranium last summer too but she was small, nice to see what it will look like when it grows up. Now im really excited for spring!!

Beautiful pic dnut! Missed you yesterday!

All so pretty...thanks for warming me up!!

Blossom from a park last April (?ID)

Beautiful, Steph! I love the colors in that geranium.

Savannah's Edge daylily:

Thanks for info on the iris guys. This is a dangerous thread. Pretty spring blossoms from the park,lovely geranium,columbine and a wonderful daylily with golden petticoats. Wild roses that show up on their own, what a bonus WC.

The eye of the tiger is deep purple, I find it doesn't flower for very long, but very pretty when it does. Got that from Brecks about 5 years ago.

It's stunning.

I prefer one stunning, regardless of how briefly it blooms, to anything boring that hangs around for weeks or months.

D-nut love ballerina!
Pirl ..wow that is such a great bright color!!

Beautiful everyone!

tulips

Sofonisba, That is one tulip that I must have each year. Antoinette is fascinating as it goes through it's color changes. Patti

Patti, I love it. Wish I could replace it every year. It never comes back for me.

I buy a 10 new ones each year and hope for more of the old ones to return. They are in a bed that I don't water much, so they have a better chance to return. I have my fingers crossed for both of us. Patti

Very fancy daylily pirl!

nice Harper!!

Thanks, WC.

I agree with Allison, beautiful bed of stunning tulips, Harper!

☺

Thanks for the crossed fingers Patti and the compliments everyone else!

I love the intense colors of early spring flowers.
Nice tulips Harper.

more happy faces!

Pretty tulips and I love pansies. They greet you in the spring and say see ya in the fall. Here is another iris from late May/early June. 'Honky Tonk Blues'

Love those happy faces, Allison.

Pat - that's a lovely shade of blue.

love them both!!

I have to plant the pansies in a spot where I see them often to deadhead. If they are in a more difficult spot, I forget.

Some smiling faces to smile at Allisons smiling faces.

LOL.. love the jump ups!!.. such a nice weed!!.. I love that they surprise me every year where they are going to live

Yes, they are definitely a weed.

but pretty ones!!

molten lava crabapple

I loved this Geum triflorum in 2008, but I don't recall them last year....I will hope they are back in 2010. But I think I planted them in the wrong spot. I will try again if NASAMI FARM has them again.

I wish my violas jumped back better too. Patti
