Well, 1st pic is A Noid, 2nd is Flower Shower, and the third is a noid, also, but I'm thinking "truly", so I'm growing a test plant to check. As far as amendments, alfalfa pellets and my "blend" of fertilizer( 1/2 of 10-10-10, and 1/2 triple super phosphate 0-45-0), and an occasional spray with a very light mix of Miracle Grow ( about every 10 days I spray fungicide, and I put a bout a 1/2 dose of MG in the mix, as well). The little guys like it here, especially well, much more so than the TBs. I think they like the cooler weather a little ,and do well in it. When the big ones come along, with more heat, the leaf spot seems to really affect them, as well as wind, hail, etc. The little guys just go dormant through the worst of that kind of crap, bounce back in late summer, make a bunch of increase (and some even re-bloom !)and are all set for the next spring. I think Lucy has me about converted !! Sticking tongue out ...Arlyn

Debra,
The lavender is a seedling of 'Otto Quast'.. a variety of Spanish lavender.

Lisa, Riley Probst is on FB. You could message him. He's introduced some MTB's and may be able to come up with a name for you. It sure is beautiful!

Lovely pink iris Lisa. Please let us know the name of this one. I was thinking about trying to do some research for some MDB or IB pale pink with white or pink beard to add to my garden this year. Hope someone will come up with its name.

Polly, I love to take photographs of the flowers. Overcast this morning, and these three plants just stood out against the grey. Even though the camera didn't actually capture the colors' vibrancy correctly, I still like the composition. Hope you do, too. Smiling

Edited to add: Dark Towers Penstemon and Coral Drift Rose with that Iris.
