Comments (8)I love purple irises! You have some great ones. I really like New Leaf, your NOID and Ringo. Rio Rojo is a beauty to. I can't get over the fact that you have iris and daylilies blooming at the same time. That picture is gorgeous! Here the foxglove always blooms about a month later than the irises.

Comments (3)Mike and Jain, thanks for your comments, glad you liked the photos! I got all of these from a friend who had moved into a new house where she and her hubby (not gardeners) were going to bulldoze an old neglected perennial bed. I got quite a few treasures out of that deal, including the iron rams that I painted and mounted on the fence rail - those were apparently used for target practice! Needless to say, I was thrilled to rescue all these beautiful plants....See MoreBlooms from last week
Comments (10)That was fun to see some rare and beautiful roses. Blue Nile is so elegant. I tried to grow that rose but it hated my climate and never bloomed. When it did, the flowers were small and did not have that beautiful rich color. Lucky for me I have a few descendants of Blue Nile that will bloom....See MoreA few of this week’s blooms
Comments (18)Goodness, Sara Ann! What beautiful pictures! I found myself studying and admiring Crazy Love, before I remembered that I don’t like orange roses. Lol. It’s quite beautiful with a mesmerizing blend of colors. Your Poseidon is lovely as well. Isn’t it a wonderful rose? I’m enjoying seeing your Mystic Beauty. It’s not shown/grown enough for how wonderful a rose it is. Yours looks great. I personally prefer it to SDLM, but my SDLM may just be a dud plant. My Mystic Beauty blows my SDLM out of the water in every way. Thanks for posting so many beautiful roses! Lisa...See Moreshive
