Mon jardin 2009

Easterly view of the same Ornamental Sage patch

This is the exact same area that the bi-coloured (green & blue) dwarf Iris were making a show less than a month ago. Also, right behind these, a second variety of Siberian Iris (white) has already started blooming, and another batch of Siberia Iris (prob'ly purple) is sending up shoots - along with a single stem new variety of Iris (gold-ish). All this to say that ... it's a really busy patch.

And here they are ... what Bryan refers to as Siberian Iris.

Petals are even narrower than the faux siberian iris, and the leaves are grass like (long thin). They're markedly smaller flowers as well.

3 patches of these are located in the far back of the back yard and (I think) a couple of clumps grow right behind the ornamental sage (see previous pics).

 Gosh, Roland, I haven't been in here before, but what a beautiful thread. 

 Do you think you will ever run out of things in your garden to photograph?

 Hope not.

Do you think you will ever run out of things in your garden to photograph?

Thanks. Based on what happened 2 years ago (My Great White North Thread), come mid-July, the output will ease off to a trickle ... and August is pretty useless.

Most of these plants were also featured in that 2007 thread, but there are always new things (and others that get lost/die off).

Here's a closer look at those same Siberian Iris.

And an even closer pic of a single flower.

Oh wow! Look at that - looks at all the creases in the petals - Very good Bryan!

In the back northern corner of the yard, there's this Pale Blue Iris with a bit of an anomaly: it's upper petals are virtually white. And it appears to be alone out there (picture was taken 4 days ago and no other similarly odd iris have come up).
