Revisiting our gardens of 2011

If you want to join in....I made some collages of the past gardening year. Trying to plan next years gardening already??? Missing the spring flowers????
If you have a fav pic or want to do collages...whatever....

Yellows of spring

purples and blues

whites

More to come later.....

oranges

red

Pinks

I admire the collages and the lovely blooms.

Here are a few of my favs this year.

NOID yellow peony suffructosa

In May, it's hard to beat the new foliage of the JM.

Then in June, the herbaceous peonies and ITOHs.

Here's Bartzella

Festiva Maxima

The iris were great too. My favorite was Rosalie Figge (I think).

It looks like a lot of pictures will be needed to get through winter, but the gardens ought to be even better next year. I'll post again if I think of some more favorites.

The collages were so pretty, Jen...loved the iris in the orange photo! Rosemary, great peonies! And that iris is a beauty.....I miss everything already, but always my iris......

I love Robin's iris, too. The last one would be a nice match for a mottled peony called the Faun.

Paula Fay bloomed for us this year (just one flower). first time in a few years. She is certainly stingy with her flowers.

WOW Love that color, Rosemary, on that hot pink one!!!

One of DH's miniature dwarfs. 'Quogue'.

Sooooo Cute!!!!

The minis are.

A beauty of a mini!

Long after the season I realized I didn't see these this year

This is from April 2010
Tulipa humilis 'Alba Coerulea Oculata'
Blue-eyed Wildflower Tulip

Oh, that was a loss, Jen....

I'm hoping that maybe it was just the wacky weather this year that kept them from blooming,

another mini: 'Rosa Brooks'

Pretty...would look nice planted with some deep blues....

Going thru photos and ordering prints I didn't have to complete my albums from 2011...I'm so anal....

Going thru pics and looking foward to a new gardening year

Mini fairy garden collage

Larger scale fairy garden

Looking foward to seeing this....

I can NOT believe how fast those Weigelas grew

Wow, big difference! I can't wait to see my new iris bloom this year....

Me too. Lovely black flower. Purple here.

Nice pics guys, and great collages Jen. I also cannot believe how fast those weigelias have grown. Amazing!

I am so missing my flowers. At least the days are slowly getting longer now.

Here are a few pics from me.
