It's Iris Time in Tennessee


Spring continues to be amazing. Something stops bloom and something else starts. The irises are coming out in full force this year. Places that I planted them years ago that have never bloomed are blooming this year! The weather is perfect, a little rain, a little sun and comfortable temperatures. I put my garden in about 10 days ago and seeds are sprouting and plants are growing. I'm not a big gardener but things grow in spite of me - at least, when I don't have to compete with a groundhog! Hope you enjoy the pictures -- we are certainly enjoying the beauty!

Deep purple . . .

These irises have the sweetest fragrance!!!

The two irises above I bought in Montana three years ago when we were visiting. This is the first year they have bloomed. They are quite different from all my other irises!

These Lillies of the Valley belonged to my paternal Grandmother, my Mom transplanted some, I got a start from her, and now our daughter, Chris, has them growing also. How cool is that! Lillies of the Valley and Lilac bushes never grew in Florida but this year I bought a Lilac bush also.

Roses are starting to bloom!

Don't know what it is, but it's pretty and it comes up every year!

Meet our cat, Betsy!
