    Went out this morning & took some pictures. Good because at any moment a storm can flatten the flowers.

    I love your Iris especially the Fashion Fling. Your hostas all look great and don't appear to be getting munched on by slugs like mine are. Everything is looking good and those peonies are gorgeous.

    I agree... great looking peonies! And beautiful Iris. And leave that tub alone... I like it looking all rustic. :-D

    The hostas are magnificent! What's your secret to keeping the slugs and snails well away from them???

    The irises also look so pretty against the hostas.


    Thanks for showing us round your garden.

    Your garden is so full of beautiful blooms! Your Hosta's are wonderful too, but I wouldn't even want to try to guess the name of the cultivars as there are thousands! Love those pink Iris too and Peony's always have a special place in my heart :)

    SnS I got some like Fashion Fling. Got from Jay at swap in Morse. Praying they don't get ruined by high water.
    thanks for sharing pictures.

    Glad you liked my pics.I usually have trouble with slugs.Maybe they drowned this year.These hostas really looked bad last summer due to drought & I didn't water them.I had planned to take out some of them this spring.Working with these huge hostas is quite an undertaking.
