Don't know if I qualify as a "Cottage" garden, but I guess I have chives and sage growing with the flowers, so maybe I'm close. Maybe the North star cherry tree right there makes it offical. lol. I have most of my vegies growing in a separate garden, although I sometimes plant sun flowers among them. CeCe, I think I'm close to you, I'm in Janesville. I love Iris too, have over 300 of them.

Some more Iris. I include some asiatic lillies, that bloom right after the iris, then some day lilies, that bloom right after the asiatic's

I love the pasque flower, one of the first blooms of spring each year.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Beautiful Tom. Beautiful iris. Love love love iris and oriental lilies, and cone flowers and blk eyed susans, and peonies and and and.+-+

Yeah Janesville is around here somewhere though don't ask me where. I have NO sense of direction. My hubby likes to put it this way.......We went to Vegas in 2003 and stayed at the Mirage. If it were left entirely up to me we would STILL today walking around trying to find my way out. Yeppers lost cause.

I learned not to take pics in direct sunlight here. Also cropped this.
Close up cropped celadine poppy.

Close up cropped daffodil.

The buds of my ornamental cherry.

Inside the tree after blooming began.

A few of my early blooms. I have been taking a classand our instructor has helped me take more interesting shots..At least I hope so..I only have a point and shoot and most of the subject matter applies to a larger camera. I could never hold one of those cameras and get a good shot so my Lumix will have to do.
