dr took pictures this morning

dr took pictures before I got up this morning so I will put them here for him.
First, white iris growing in back yard. Much bigger than the other white iris.



Then, the bleeding hearts have doubled in size. These are the same dollar and fifty cent ones.


Now purple iris down by the lower fence.


and finally our only lilac bush. I trimmed a lot of dead wood out last year but I left a few of the suckers because it only had green at the top. If I cut all the suckers will new green come out further down the trunk?


dr and dooley

 

It all looks lovely! Iris are great,especially the white!

 

Some of my favorite blooms DR, Thanks!
Why not dig up those Lilac suckers and plant them somewhere else in the yard?
One CAN'T have too many Lilac's!

 

Fantastic!! The iris are beauts!! I think I may try my hand at growing a bleeding heart. Maybe I will try to find one tomorrow on my day off!!

 

Gosh, it all looks great, my La. irises are finishing up and the beards aren't co-operating much. I have another iris in back, don't know what kind, but it is just forming the buds.

 

Great pictures DR and Dooley I do love all your blooms.I love the purple Iris's so many of them,The white ones are gorgeous.Big blooms I never saw one that large.

 

Absolutely lovely, I can almost smell those Lilac blossoms.

 

SO pretty, i just planted 4 bleeding hearts. i hope they turn out that pretty

 

My lilacs doesn't put new growth out down where I've trimmed it, but that could be just mine, can't help there. Bleeding Heart grows wild around here (Lucky Me!) and it, along with Johnny Jump-up (looks like a wild yellow violet) have always meant Spring to me, thanks for the preview! (goodness, you are a couple of super gardeners!)

 

Love the pics.The purple iris is so pretty.

 

I really like the white iris. And those bleeding hearts have sure grown and their blossoms are so dainty looking.
