Iris Time
Refreshing Gingersnap iris by the front sidewalk
a nice, petite siberian
a double stack of white
(a wal-mart $1 special)
(Shiloh Dog is viewing out the open window)
the mass of wine-colored Louisiana iris are coming soon!

Front of the House
CG is pleased overall with the condition of the front planting areas.
The nandinas are strong, healthy, and about 90% filled-in to the desired 'naturalized mass'.
The azaleas and gardenias are lacking, however.
Importing rocks to the front of the house is about 75% complete.
The daffodils look great!
Some will need thinning in a few weeks.
More areas will be marked for more planting in the fall.
Daylilys were transplanted in November (near the windows)
they seem to like their new home!
(a tall iris bud can be seen at the top right -any day!)
Daffodils continue to be the featured attraction!
the daffodils are about half-way finished with their 6 weeks of splendor!

In Amongst the Giants
It's one of the earliest-blooming plants in the garden!
At first glance, it appears to be an iris flower that has broken-off, and is laying on the ground.
Au contraire!
The dwarf iris (K.Hodgkin) is firmly grounded.
(fingers crossed that the majority of them emerge this year!)
October marked the second year these flowers were planted.
(CG Jr helped dig & plant a few -he even named the one between the rocks lining the sidewalk Rocky)
With continued success in the next few weeks, we are already looking forward to planting even more this fall!
