Welcome To My Garden 2009 Part 1

Dwarf Iris', Shasta Daisy "Snowcap" and behind the sign Siberian Iris'.

Yellow Rose Bushes
started with five to six small starts two years ago.

Beautiful Rose Blossoms


Hmmm, well I thought this was Lamb's Ear growing wild along the edge of the trees. After transplanting it to my flower bed and seeing other lamb's ear around I'm not so sure. Could it be Lamb's Ear Giganticus? lol


This is all reseeded cilantro from a plant I bought last year! Yum, Pico De Gallo!


A lovely gift from a Sis-n-law. A tea cup bird bath.


How gorgeous is this, a ball of blooms on my snowball bush.


Sedum, ground cover-Dragon's Blood?



This is Lemon Balm and every spring and every fall I rip it out with a vengeance and it just. keeps. coming!


One of my fav decorations. Rooster jumping rope. I picked this up at a Big Lots! one year. Every year I go back looking for some more uniqueness only to be disappointed.


Second all time fav, Hula hoopin frog.



First Iris bloom of the 2009 season


Dianthus, this was a dead looking plant at church that I brought home, stuck in the ground and watered. Lovely.

I miss the ease of maintaining a garden in Illinois soil. Here in AZ if you miss a day of watering your plants are doomed.
