Red Asiatics & LA Iris

While the yellow asiatics are the current center piece in the backyard, the reds haven't disappointed along the front sidewalk.





Deep, dark red, or brilliant bright red- depending on the degree of sunlight that is cast on them.



There's a few dozen of them...will wait till the fall to divide the massed clumps.



and, the Louisiana iris:

(the strongest of the 3)

CG hasn't been able to find the ideal 8-8-8 fertilizer, but they seem to be doing ok.

the beds are lacking somewhat now, CG will be keeping a keen eye for $1 specials on asiatics (need more late spring/early summer blooms)
