I like the warm yellows opposite the cooler purples. That rose is something!

Such wonderful garden photos, that first photo is simply amazing, love the iris with the foxglove! And the last photo, stupendous! Wish I had your talent. Looky Loo is so pretty & love Scottish Reel. I don't remember, is Jean your neighbor? Lovely iris & garden.

Beautiful, beautiful iris again with beautiful and amazing color combos with the other flowers in your gardens. The iris are all beautiful but 'Scottish Reel' is especially so. And I just love the view in that last picture. Such a wonderful garden you have!

You have a beautiful yard!!! Scottish Reel is very unusual in its coloring; I think you're right: it looks perfect!

Thank you, iris buds!
I met Jean last Mother's Day when I was taking my mom to the nursery for her present. She pointed out a clematis at a house down the street as we drove by, so I stopped and we got out to look. I walked up to the front door to get a closer look, and a big man opened the door and said "may I help you?" I explained, and he said "boy are you in the right place if you like gardens. Let me get my mother." Jean came to the door and me and mom spent the next two hours touring her spectacular backyard garden. What a fun Mother's Day. We now share plants, magazines, and ooh and ahh at each other's new plants. Jean's garden is about 1/3 acre and she does it all by herself at 70. Wow.

Everything is stunning as usual in your garden, Renee. I know iris are the object, but the foxgloves are to die for! And your path with roses and all! Just gorgeous. Your entire garden is a wonderland.

Mom's Cantina--like that one! But it's the foxglove that have me drooling. (New Leaf is the sort I can do without.) Such a lovely garden.
