The flowerbed near the road in front of our house. May 19, 2012.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
One of our newer flower beds is in front of the house near the road. Betsy and I wanted color in the bed throughout the growing season, so we planted tulips, iris, roses, lilies and day lilies in the bed.
This year we’re getting a lot of color, often at the same time. In the picture above you can see two varieties of lilies in bloom, and two varieties of roses. What’s more amazing, if you look carefully you can see a purple iris that decided to bloom again of Friday.
I guess we’re going to have to stay home for a while so we can enjoy all this beauty around us.

I can’t imagine having all that in my yard. Beats the heck out of all these sago palms I’m stuck with.

For some reason, this picture looks so romantic and old fashioned. Like in a wonderful old book.

What a beautiful bed of flowers!! It has been a marvelous spring here in the south. I have never had roses and iris blooming at the same time. Thanks for stopping by – I have been super busy with photo clients—I think I need two of me!
