These Hydrangea flowers came from my Mom's cousin. |
A garden is like a puzzle or mystery...to me at least. Some things grow just great and then others not so much. I should spend more time investigating the different plants like I used to.
Not sure what these are but the are so gorgeous! |

Bearded Iris Autumn Circus |
I'm getting excited to go back out in the garden because I have found someone to help me weed...hopefully we can do some dividing and planting soon. I would like all perennials so because they keep the weeds to a minimum. Even if they are just green leaves after flowering, I don't really care. I love their leaves. I have made bouquets of just leaves...they last longer than the flowers do in the house.
The silvery gray stalks are some kind of Dusty Miller. |
Those plants around Mr. Frog are radishes from last year! |
Snow on the Mountain gone crazy from our last home... |
The Stellas are from my friend, Doris! |
Miniature Iris - they were so pretty this year. |
I have three different kinds of peonies. |
A couple of weeks ago we had the most beautiful peonies and miniature Iris. The peonies have been on this farm forever and when I tried to move them I found out how big and long their tubers/roots are. Wow! I just cut off a part of one and moved it to the raised bed by the deck...the other one is in the garden below and will stay there as long as I am the gardener!
The lilac I planted outside my kitchen window is now huge...its a French Double White. It is over 15' high now. So fragrant and usually some little bird builds a nest in it so we can watch them play house. A Robin comes back each year to the Purple Lilac that is right next to it. This year they built their nest higher in the bush. It is fun to have nature so close.
I will do another garden post when the other flowers are in bloom and the weeds are gone. My grandkids helped haul up Hubby's garden from the basement so they are playing catch up right now.
Take care and go play in the dirt!!!
