Iris Query


Notice the iris above that is two colored. Is it yellow from the irises to its left and ...
purple from the irises to its right?

I love this time of year with the irises in bloom.

Harvest



I took the shears to the spinach last night so that we could have enough cooked. It was delicious. I think the spinach will grow back. I've done it to the mesculun too and it grows back.

My peas are flowering so it won't be long before I have snowpeas. They will go well with the Curry Simple I ordered. Haven't heard of Curry Simple? Check it out? http://www.currysimple.net/
If you order the combo, type in "coconut" to get $10 off your order.

Newest Blooms

My clematis opened some buds early this morning. Unlike the daffodils, the blooms are facing our bedroom window. What a nice surprise when I looked out.

Two more irises opened as well overnight.

May Bloom Day

My first Bloom Day posting. Here is what has just started to bloom in the garden this week.









I also had one yellow iris in my pond blooming but my camera couldn't focus on it. Next time.
