Well one of my cheapo end of season iris are blooming, had no clue of colors or kinds............. think they were labeled Louisiana iris.

This one just started opening today.

Nice pics! I love all that color!
Ok, so you made me show off a few recent flower blooms. Not sure what the first one is, It opens at about midnight and the whole porch smelled sweet last night, the one with the frog was just before it started opening. The third pic is my Walking iris and the last is a lantern plant.

Wow love that walking iris, is it a hardy? , nope zone 9 or higher, it sure is pretty. I have seen that white one, no clue on the name, not here though.

Stoppy here is a pitcher plant coming back from last year. Paid 50 cents for it, Just started growing, the forgetmenot was a surprise that grew around it.

Wow guys all those flowers are beautiful and make me wish I lived in a warmer climate (Spring/Summer). My lilies are just putting pad up w/ no signs of blooms but I have these few plants in bloom.

Found this bleeding heart in a vacant lot:

Who could be bored w/ beautiful flowers and cute critters............not me............love nature and all it's beauty. The first photo of the tubular flowers I see around here and like to watch the bee's go up the tubes to get the nectar. That frog blends right in w/ that rock :yikesu:

Amber I just throw stuff here and there and end up moving stuff all the time til I get it right..............no wait, I never seem to get it just right so here we go, move it again :lol:
If it gets too big to move it gets to stay there :rolleyes:

lol jw, same here. I don't do formal at all. Hubby likes balanced, two on this side two on the other side. I told him nope nature is not that way! I allowed him to balance the front yard with trees along the drive..............sort of (He came from a 12000 ft house professionally landscaped)

We are house bound today, spent the morning outside, but right now 92 with heat index of 102 this sucks lol The heat really bothers me.
