    Lets take a walk around. We'll start at the back. Going down our made wooden steps are the hostas and ferns. Some lillie of the vally, but they already flowered.

    my peonies are almost ready to bud:

    moving around to my front yard, we have my bleeding heart bush:

    this one was a transfer piece from the main bush:

    Then we come to my Iris

    Then over to my new corner flower garden. I decided to make it with purple flowers. Its not done yet but it has a start of, veronica(that will have purple flowers), a lavendar plant, later I'll put some of my purple hostas in here.

    And lastly on our tour for today is my daylillie.

    I hope you've enjoyed the tour, I'll envite you back again when the peonies are in full flower and some of my other lillies have opened up.

    Oh, they are all so beautiful.
    Spring blooming was so long ago for me that I forgot how pretty and bright new blooms can be.

    More tours in the future would be greatly appreciated. ;)

    The little white flowers are called Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) Petunia. :stew1: I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your garden so how about we sit down and have a cuppa while we chat about all your lovely flowers and what other plants you could put in your purple bed!!! ;)

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...
    Those flowers look smashing.
    I especially liked the Ornithogalum umbellatum and that Iris. What lovely things they are.
    You've laid out your garden really nicely and and taken us on the perfect tour.
    What a fine hostess you are...and what a good GARDNER you are.
    Thank you so much for these lovely pics of your handiwork.

    I'll just agree with everybody else. :D Lovely garden, thanks for the tour. Your iris is gorgeous, and your borders so well tended. I wonder if our day lilies will bloom soon.

    Petunia thank you for sharing such beautiful flowers. I wish I had a green thumb for flowers. I only have one for veggies though.

    I love that iris and I really like the purple bed idea ;)
