Dear all, after your most kind comments about Sarah's Clematis. Here is a picture of Sarah's corner in the front garden. Sarah loves this planter as it is filled up with summer bedding once the pansies have finished, and the Hanging baskets are redone as well.
I hope you enjoy it as much as Sarah does doing it!
Regards.
Neil.

I always enjoy the pictures you put on....

My very first iris bloom of the season...

Long view of my butterfly/hummingbird garden.

Beautiful flowers everyone. Would love to show you a few of mine.
I love Iris and to me this one is beautiful contrast with each other.
Please do enjoy...
Charleen

ooh ooh Tiger Honey???? Right? Right?n I have one that is not blooming yet but we would'nt bloom the same time in our different Zones!

That is a beautiful name and it does describe it. The Darker one is Superstition, so pretty. Thank you, Cherie.
Here is another yellow and it has a delicate perfume.

Lovely plants. Do name them when you post as others may not be familiar with them.

Some of these have been in the ground so long the tags are lost.

Of course you can show them. but if you know the name it's good to let people know who might also like to grow them.

It's o.k. I love my flowers. I just don't know their botanical names. I knw it is an iris and a very pretty one. Sorry.

That's okay Charleen, I have so may lost tags due to the weather washing the names off. My batiks I know I have A pink one that was called Baffoon bottom or something like that. Tiger honey stood out for me because it is such a beautiful color especially when the sun hits it just so.


I just know what I like and Hope that others won't mind seeing pictures from time to time

It is a cultivar name like the names of roses. You knew 'Tiger Honey' & 'Superstition'. We aren't up to tall bearded season here as yet.

I have so many buds on all my iris. I have them in okay let me count....5 beds? maybe more if there & if there isn't there will be for there are some that really need to be divided after they bloom which will all go back here on my property. Kinda stingy in that department. Unless you're my so,n I keep all transplants here. My goal is no lawn. I start giving plants away or trying to sell them that goal will never be seen. As I divide I replant here. If I have to make a new bed to do it I do. Simple as that. Ed he is not so willing to give up grass but you know he has to go to work every day. He can't control what happens here when he's not here. Or how much lawn is missing at 3:30 pm that was there when he left at 5am.

I do know some of you have already been there, but to those who haven't Richard has sent some new pictures from Kew.
it is at http://cubits.org/Neil/thread/...

That is a nice tour, Neil, the Kew is beautiful and so are the plants.
Girls, My iris are about all at the end of their blooming but they are so beautiful.
The plant companies need to make labels to last more than a year. You all are really in a much colder area, just thinkof all the beauty to be blooming.

Oh Charleen I know. This is the earliest I have had an iris bloom. Come June though... ... ... It is most awesome. I can't wait to take pictures of all of them......In fact I have ordered more I believe the Fleur de Lis collection, Can't wait...........

I saw that one listed and it is going to be gorgeous. My Oriental peony has already bloomed and as always it was beautiful.
Sometimes the blooms are just so beautiful, they don't look real.

Stunning! I'm loving all the pictures!

My Pieris with a Delphinium to the left of it!

Oh, That is beautiful. Looks like it's on fire. Love those colors.
O.K. Let's see if I remember everything. Blackout lilies, Bachelor Buttons, Wisteria in the pots and lychoris(?) Lamb's Ears.
there is also a tiny Hollyhock coming up in front of the angel. I hope that's it.
