<< Fish Pond or To First Photo	Rudy's Garden Photo added: May 18 2013 1 member likes this photo	wild blue gentian >> or To Last Photo
Description: My dog Rudy used to have his doghouse back here. It is still full of grasses and weeds, and is a work in progress. The Dame's Rockets are doing great. There are two rose bushes in the front, guess I need to move some of this stuff back from them. There are irises, daylilies [but not near the roses], rose of sharon bushes, honeysuckle, lilac, redbud, sedums, ox eye daisies, and lots of stuff I am trying to get rid of, or move.

Phlox has shiny leaves, and these have fuzzy leaves; phlox has 5 petals on each floweret, and the Dame's Rockets have 4 petals on each floweret. They both have a lovely perfume. Also, the phlox bloom later in the summer. I have both. Cayuga Morning wrote on Sat May 18, 2013 12:23 pm: WOW! Beautiful! I presume we are looking at the siberian iris in this photo?
