The Iris are beginning to flower! This one is a deep red brown and is just exquisite. I am glad that I got to see them before I left. They last just a short time, so I have to get out and look at them as often as possible.
The lilacs are pretty much done. A great display this year.
The spiderwort, a small purple flower, have just begun to flower also.
Because my garden is now mostly a shade garden, the poppies I used to have hardly flower any more. That is too bad, because I love the intensity of their tissue paper colours.
The main of the garden is full of garlic, making for a very "fragrant" grassland.I like the blousy look of the place. No grass, lots of ground cover, hostas and day lilies. Something is always doing something! The birds love it because there is a great food supply and the cats love it, for obvious reasons. The squirrels use the upper highways to get around and I use it for the shade.
It is my secret garden place, hiding from being in the city.
I wonder how the years will affect that feeling.
