~Iris, Hostas, and Peonies~


I've noticed this year how nice everyone's Irises are. Here are a couple pictures of mine.


Hostas are so pretty this time of year. The leaves have just opened and they look so fresh. As you can see I love Hostas, it has taken me years to collect lots different ones.

In the front of our house we have a Yellow Azalea bush. It is very old, Tom's grandma planted it years ago. It smells so good, usually there are alot more blooms. I'll take what we have, we had a very cold winter.

Where did last week go? I have been working in my flower beds spreading mulch. There are still lots of things I need to do but, the mulch is no. 1. It really cuts down on the weeds, so that saves so much time for me.

  1. A yellow azalea is kind of unusual, isn't it? Your gardens look so orderly ~ that may be because you work in them so much!!! Very beautiful, Julie!!

  2. I love your flower gardens, Julie. I have been working in mine for the past week. I have a collection of hostas and most of them are from my mom's house, so they are probably 40-50 years old. The dark green, emerald colored leaves are my favorites.
