More pretties...

So I know I have shown a love for Iris', but there are lots of other beauties in the garden that are blooming away... like these Ranunculus...

And of course we have to show off the Jupiter's Beard...

Then there are the Columbine... we have three variaties, the blue and white, a red and white and the Nora Barlow...

Honeysuckle is just starting to smell up the yard, oh so sweet!!!
Speaking of sweet smelling the Freesia's  are fading, but still as sweet as ever !!

We also have the Lilac bush in bloom, talk about a fragrant bush, you know when the bee's are all over a plant it must be good !!

Then there are the not so fragrant flowers, though their beauty is a very good asset, that they bloom from the first warmth of Spring, well into the Fall... like the Aneome x hybrida there are so many colors and varities of these little troopers and they just bloom and bloom...

The Oxalis looks like clover with the cutest little flowers...the too come in a few different colors, we have pink and blue...
The snapdragons are just starting to open... these are the favorite of Wayne, they are his babies ...

This year is our first year for the Gerber Daisy, this one was one of the gifts momma gave me for my birthday...

Scarlet Flax is all over our yard, we love to watch is wave in the wind...
And then there are todays critters...


We hope you enjoyed today's pretties and will join us @ Dodge Writes for today's Prompts...

Garden challenge....

May is the month for flowers in our garden, there are so many blooming or just about to bloom, it is hard to keep up with them all...so over the next few weeks I am doing a garden post of what is new and what is going on in our pretty little garden... Hope you all will enjoy the journey with us.
There are so many birds in the yard and though I try with all my might to get pictures of them, I am only as good as my camera...So we get fuzzy, far away pictures for now...like these of the Scrub jays, hummingbird and the Quail.
Then we have the oh so pretty Iris Alley... in the last few days we have had quite the showing, multiple blooms on stalks that are 18 to 36 inches high, multi-colored hues of blues, yellows, whites, reds and many more to come...
Then we have the tons of other flowers like the poppies, foxglove, stock, columbine, hellebore's, aneominies, verbascum, pansies, lilies, cyclamen, bears breeches, snap dragons, sweet william, corriopus, rudbeckia, scarlett flax and many more... so when I can I will be posting all of them for you all to see..until then...


ENJOY
