The Joys of Gardening

It's Springtime!

Bloom, rose, bloom! This one looks like a muppet to me. It's got Kermit the Frog's collar.

We don't do anything for these roses, and yet they blossom.

We transplanted some irises a month ago. *Somebody* told us they wouldn't bloom because it was too late in the season. But what do you know? Add sunlight and water and look what you get:

BackyardIrisTwo

BackyardIrisTwoDown

And here are some flowers I don't know the name of. We water these occasionally, because we planted them just a month ago.

Pretty, huh?

A few more roses, to close out the show:

You have a green thumb! I didn't know you had the gene. :)

The spidery blue flower is Mountain Bluet, or Centaurea montana.

The striped pink flower is Siskiyou Bitterroot, or Lewisia cotyledon.
