    You've got such lovely iris and other blooms. :D I'm so glad the hummers were quick to find your petunia, I'm certain they were happy that you put it up.

    you have alot of color going on. I was just out the other day looking for my Star of Beth. Hmmm, I wonder...if that little underground animal got to them. We been having some raised hills through out the yard. No good for me. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, those Iris are gorgeous. Blooming is over for mine until next year, I have a couple of rebloomers but they have never bloomed a second time...yet.

    All your blooms are beauties.

    It is all so pretty, Netty -- it was worth waiting for and I know you were waiting! There are some flowers there that are unfamiliar to me -- thanks for the introductions! I like the Star of Bethlehem (sorry you may have lost yours, Petunia) and the Snow in Summer... and the Wegelia looks really luscious. That seems to be really popular with a lot of Stewbies but I'm thinking it might be too big for my little space -- does it have to get very large?

    Enjoy your blooms, Netty! I know I did.

    Daisybeans, my Weigela is a "Minuet" and it only grows to a height of 30 inches and a spread of up to 4 feet. There are several varieties to choose from.

    OO those iris are beautiful Netty and I really love Star of Bethlehem (I have them here too) with their dainty little flowers which open in sunshine. :-D
