Just gorgeous! especially the irises,
I think this year is the first we ever actually have a spring season instead of jumping from winter to summer.

Have to check your zone...didn't think your season would be weeks before ours.
Lucky you.

So pretty, each and every bloom! I thought the last one was an azalea but I got my answer in your response to Heather's comment.

Lona said...

Thanks Darla and Liz. Thanks for dropping by girls!

Kanak: So glad you dropped by. Many things are just about to bloom around here now. I am so glad.

Joe: I had rhubarb years ago but I do not remember if it had blooms or not. Short memory span nowadays :-)

My sweet rocket is blooming, too. In fact, the blooms are beginning to fade. I love that plant because it's tall, full of purply blooms, and reseeds generously. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever planted any, but instead, the litle birdies planted seeds for me around my bird bath, and now I have a great crop! Aren't you enjoying this spring! So much fun playing in the dirt and watching the fruits of your labors growing and blooming!
