Aren't digital cameras wonderful. Looks like you have a lot of bloom to look forward to. We had a week of hot that has wiped out the last of our bloom.

Lovely irises! Here are a few bits and pieces of my property. I'm waiting for the roses to bloom before I take any more garden pictures!

Part of the view from the porch:

I call this my "second flower bed" although it was actually my first, started 30 years ago when we had a white fence there and a lot more sun (before the trees grew up). Forget-me-nots grow in the old well.

A small piece of the terrace. Robusta is the only rose blooming so far. This view also shows a corner of the stone ice house and the trunk of our ancient King apple tree.

I love my digitals. It's really nice to take a picture and share it with everyone moments later.
Alisandy, I love your pictures! It looks so peaceful and serene there. How old is your King apple tree? I love old things like the ice house and apple tree. The home I grew up in also had an ice house. :o]

Here are a few more shots taken today:

Your gardens look so well designed! Mine are definitely hit or miss. I come from the oooh-this-is-pretty-let's-stick-it-here school of gardening. :-)

I don't know how old the King apple is, but the house is c. 1850, so I assume the trees were planted some time after that.

Here is my iris bed about one year ago today {{gwi:12659}}

Hope you like it!
