Glorious! The blue Louisiana iris is a beauty. I decided that I needed to move a few of my iris...if they didn't bloom this year they never will!
This is a new area I just finished.
I had a beautiful Pussy Willow, which died after last summer heat !
I planted more Euphorbia, Sedum, Columbine, some roses (shade tolerant) and Coneflowers, also some Daylilies from other areas.
On the left I kept the same stuff (Parsley, some spent Arugula and Dill) and also Daylilies and Liliums
Euphorbia and Columbine

Coneflower, Foxglove, Jerusalem Sage (one of my latest favorite)

My first Canna bloomed.....so early this year!
Dahlberg daisy at dusk. I have no idea why this plant only reseeds in the cracks of my cement?

My Desert Rose is going berserk with blooms!
Beautiful blooms everyone!!!
Cheryl, the Dalberg daisy you gave me made it through the winter and I have two lovely pots, so dainty and neat.
They are usually annuals that reseed.
My iris finally bloomed!! I retrieved these from a box labeled "Free" a few houses down from us a couple of years ago. This is the first year it's put out blooms and the bloom stalk shot up through the shrub! LOL
Lots of butterflies flitting around in the flower bed this morning when I was out snapping pics.
The Brazos Penstemon is really looking good and blooming like crazy!
Bellissimo !!! = very very beautiful !!!
I LOVE the white butterfly, Stephanie. I wonder if it's magical like the white buffalo..... :-)
There were 2 of the white butterflies out there today. There was also a yellow one, but I couldn't get a pic of it. Lots of bees, too!
morning pics
I only have 2 roses, this one only blooms once.
cedar sage in front of a sea of heartleaf skullcap.

Tradescantia hirsutiflora and Viola tricolor
morganc, wow, what a lovely desert rose! I have a "stick" with a little green on top...what to do with her?
Here's one from today, the gloriosa lily; you just got to love her!
and a red/white amaryllis...so pretty
Something ate my amaryllis flower buds but yours look lovely. Ah, maybe next year...

I loove your Gloriosa Lily.
Tell me a little bit about this plant. I think it is a vine , correct?
Is it invasive?
How long does it bloom for?
