Happy First Day of Spring!
Since I’ve just posted about the few flowering things in my new garden, I decided to get some fresh air and walk around my cul de sac to see what my neighbors have blooming in their yards.
I used to grow tangerine crossvine in my previous garden. It’s lining the fence across the street, so I get to enjoy a whole swatch of it every time I look out front or work in my garden.
I’m a sucker for irises and my neighbor has a field of these wonderful, dark purple ones.
I think these are Indian Hawthorne blooms. In a more established neighborhood, I’m seeing a different plant palette.
As always – I love the reliable evergreen bi-color iris. Great structure in any landscape.
It’s an adventure creating a brand new garden.
Every little step is a lesson.
And, it’s fun getting to experience new neighborhood gardens as we walk with the bubbies every day.
Happy Spring!
Oooh I have high hopes for my iris garden this spring. This is the second year after planting. We shall see but your iris gives me hope.
