Now we are further along and will be turning to the front yard.












And finially we end up looking at the front yard pond.

Upstairs in the back yard (literally upstairs) looking along another path.







Now if we go to the very end of the property were there is a shady woodsey area that I am still working to finish.



And looking forward from the previous view back toward the sunny mid yard.


The mid yard. it has daylilies, bearded iris, dutch iris, tulips, daffodils, different lilies and some perrenials.

I just love the azalea combo. Guess I mentioned that before?

I love plants that weave!

Here is similar annual combo

Scaevola and begonia



and just part of an annual garden with Hem Happy Returns (yellow)

Verbena Candy something, scaevola, begonia



These would be great in containers too!

OMG! Would you look at those gorgeous tall bearded!

Juli, I really like to plant a section of something, be it roses, iris, daylilies whatever but I want them to jumble into each other. Especially the roses. Which is why my roses are planted so close together. So I like your combos there a lot!

Bobbie, the Tall Bearded are just starting here and I do love TB iris. Expecially the ruffled ones. I have about 200 TB. I have a thread in the iris forum here where I have started posting my iris blooms and will continue as they keep blooming. IN case anyone wants to go look. (Hint, hint).

Iris have started to bloom here in my garden.

LOVE the azaleas!! Also love love the upper walkway with the tall bearded irises. Everything is really green like it has rained a lot there, awesome gardens.

Dot, it is very green because it has rained here a lot and supposed to rain again overnight.

Such beauty! It just gets prettier every day.

I really love spring as there is so much blooming!

What a lovely tour Rita!!!

Thanks for the walk through.

Thanks Rita for the virtual tour along your garden paths.
It's almost like being there.

An area of the front yard were you can see some of the clematis blooms. If you enlarge the picture you can see the little House Wren sitting on top of the slotbox house were Mr and Mrs House Wren are neating.

Along the front sidewalk looking right. Tall bearded iris blooming there.

We all need to take a road trip to Rita's place. Everything is just so beautiful.

Outstanding Garden.

Rita's place must be amazing to see. So many beautiful colors!!!

Love all that you have going on. It is so interesting.

Love the clematis and the iris bed along the sidewalk. The irises are where people can enjoy them as they walk along, how nice.

Tall bearded iris season is underway here at the garden.

Another view.

Rita, If I ever get enough money to spare, I'll take a trip to the west to see all the wonderful Iris growers fields of Iris. I know I should want to go to Mecca first, but my heart really belongs to Iris. Yours are WONDERFUL!! You and Dot have some of the prettiest ones I've seen in a long time. I love the new ones and I love the old ones. It's just that they are all so pretty.
