Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
The very regal White (with a dash off yellow) Siberian Iris in the busy North-West corner, front lawn.
Sheriff Roland:
A few backyard pics. In the foreground of this one, the soon to be non-flower bed (for herbs, stinging nettle, peppers and tomato plants), a cluster of blue, yellow and burgundy iris along with the now spent tulips. In the background, behind the apple tree, the yellow iris bed. Behind those, along both fences are a variety of other iris and a few other plants: columbine, mint, dogwood, medow rue ...
Sheriff Roland:
And here's the Yellow Iris flower bed, prob'ly the best pic of em for this year. It's been (finally) warmer for a coupl'a days so the blooms are fading faster now. This may well be the best pic of that bed for this year.
Sheriff Roland:
Back to the front yard, and the Pale Pink Poppies. This pictures is 4 days old. There have been near two dozen of these (and 5 red ones) in the front yard (as well as a dozen in the back yard). Bryan took some fascinating close-ups of these yesterday. I'll be posting some of his artsy pics on the other thread in the days to come, including some of this flower.
Sheriff Roland:
They have a dif'rent name (saw em at Canadian Tire last month) but I don't remember it. We call em Virginia Blue Bells. Just sold some this weekend and gave a whole bunch of em away to the lady who gave me the ferns a number of years ago.
