Gardening, anyone?

Wildflower pics from my walk yesterday at the forest preserve. Yellow irises. phlox.

These are off the same stem.

Beautiful

Gmafoley- what a beautiful rose

Good morning all, and thank you for sharing your Spring colors! I especially enjoyed the cactus flowers. The desert in the Spring is magnificent.

So here are a few from our house. The wisteria is already fading of blooms. The food garden gave us artichokes, salads, strawberries and herbs. The tomato plants and basil are on course with flowers turning into small green tomatoes. The grape vines are nurturing the tiny glusters. The dwarf lemon and nectarine trees are bountiful. A robin zeroed in on the only cherry on the tree and ate it; pruning well this year will help production of more cherries next year.

Our winter to spring was very wet thus producing a lush garden this year. My lavender was dramatic and more to come from the other species. The roses and wisteria were a joy this year. The honeysuckle lored the hummingbirds.

June is coming out hot, very hot. I've already upped the irrigation. Fortunately the shade from the oak trees gives us and the creatures in the garden protection from the sun and heat.

Best wishes to all as always,

Marilyn

jazzy and meow- what beautiful gardens.

Twohobbies- beautiful flowers. I think I have an orchid starting to bloom. It has been so hot and humid lately I didn't think any of my orchids were going to bloom for a while.
