Hi Debra! I finally found you! I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with physical issues. Your photos are lovely and I have to agree with so many others, I think that Tahiti Double Daffodil is wonderful!!! Take care of yourself! The garden it looking great!

Thank you, Marilyn.


Community garden was fun. Brought home some individual leaves of red lettuce, Swiss Chard, curly Kale, and green cabbage; a slew of broccoli buds and blossoms (who knew they would taste good?); and enough cilantro to stock a restaurant. Salad time!!!


Early morning


germanica? Dunno, but it is pretty. And more purple than my camera can pick up, but these are close.



More germanica // Found a Gizmo the Gremlin bud this morning!!



One of my favorite Spring wildflowers. So tiny. // Color starting to show on Taiyo Tree Peony bud.

What beautiful pictures Debra! I love the diamond dust on the iris close ups & the cute little friend. That first photo is extra pretty - the dappled lighting is great. So wonderful that you enjoyed your outing. and it sounds like you really scored with all the greens. Yummy - fresh, fresh, fresh!

That is an intriguing picture of your tree peony! Does it grow well for you? I love peonies and have been thinking of adding a tree peony to the back of a new garden I am making.

Leslie, it is doing much better now that I changed its location.

Pictures, as usual, are great. Love your iris photos and I am so glad you will be able to share them with your sister for her wedding. It was nice that you had that great outing and sounds like you made a great haul, too!

Thank you, Jean. All the males in the wedding party will be wearing these.



My camera does not capture purples well, but the bluer image is pretty, too.



Harvested a young Elephant Garlic. Cooked it with the greens from yesterday.



Gizmo the Gremlin Iris. First time here and my new favorite.

Looking good Debra and Gizmo looks happy! Mine started blooming earlier this week.

Thank you for being generous, Sue. I planted the rhizomes you sent in three different areas.

Overcast and breezy, today. Photographs not as clear or pretty as I want, will wait for tomorrow on most, and hope for sunny skies.

Bonnie, do you recognize this one?



Forgot that I planted some Dutch Iris bulbs in this pot of Bearded Iris...guess they got happy. ?// Thyme in bloom.

Love the thyme picture with the dewdrops on it!

Thank you.

Yes, Debra, I do! Thank you for sharing the photo. It is going to make an impressive clump display that glows even in the rain.

Love that Gizmo!

Thank you, Sherry.

Bonnie, thank you for my Killarney Green.



Sparks Fly SDB. Didn't realize until I saw it blooming that I had moved a rhizome to this location.




Hoping a slew of these will still be in bloom on Saturday so I can make up vases for my sister's wedding. // Salvia Lyrata "Purple Knockout", I think. // Tiny Padhye Lily emerging.




The glory of the garden this week: Taiyo Tree Peony. I love it soooo much. The bloom looks red and white with the sun shining at that angle on the petals.

Beautiful Debra!

Thank you, Margaret.

Great photos Debra! And I love that yellow iris

Your tree peony is STUNNING!! Everything else is too!

LOVE that peony too!!!!

Sending happy thoughts for lots of iris blooms to make decorations for your sisters wedding.
