Very Pretty.

Love those Iris's spring, I have ordered about ten this year and I just got a clump from Mary's Garden Patch yesterday! I planted it near the AC because it is always moist there. Hoping for a few more next year. They are so beautiful.

Very Nice everyone, Love those hydrangeas, Hosta, and Alliums.

Jo Ann, what is the shrub behind the Poppies with the red flowers?

Question?
Does the red dragon stay in place or spread around?
In Your photo it looks neat and tidy

It spreads up to 6 feet. It doesnt get really tall but it is wide.

Not great pix but thats how it spread after 3 years from a transplant.I had it in the wrong place first try.

It works beautifuly in the "no mans land" garden. That part of the slope cant be seen from the deck so I put stuff there just to cover. Its awfully weedy.I cant keep mup. Some sort of longlegged thing that sticks to me when I try to toss it.
