    Wow, I've never seen a pomegranate bloom before either, how cool!

    Do you know the name of your red rose? It's a beauty.

    What a lovely array of flowers. I especially liked the Pomgranate. I have been trying to get mine to flower for several years but not much is happening. I raised it from seed.

    blooms

    I believe the rose is a Mr. Lincoln.

    The pomagranate bush was here when we moved in. It gets pretty much ignored all year, but it blooms these pretty orange blossoms. There's another smaller one in a really shady spot & I keep thinking I need to move it to a sunny place, but can't do that 'til Winter.

    peach iris

    I have no idea what the scientific name of the peach iris is. It was here when we bought the place. I don't recall ever having seen a bloom like this. I have three of these - at least all I know if - some of what we have doesn't bloom because of the lack of sunshine. I plan to move those to sunny spots, but haven't picked a spot yet.

    Those are all lovely! :D The petunias and that iris have the loveliest, soft colours, and the pomegranate is impressive.

    I cant help to notice how you folks in Texas seem to be having all the fun! That's some good stuff there and the peach iris is certainly a keeper. :stew2:

    Great pictures as usual WTxDaddy! The Pomegranate bloom is stunning-I've never seen one before.
