These are the most wonderful miniature Crested Iris! They have so many blooms this spring. They are about 5 inches high and one of my first plants to flower. They grow best in partial shade. I gave these to my sister as a graduation present when she graduated from college. The next year she shared them with me and I have continued to share with others. I think one of the best things about gardening is the sharing of plants and walking among them and remembering the people who gave them to you.
A few Tulips with some white Rockcress. I didn't think I had much for color in the yard till I started taking pictures. I think the heavy snow cover helped this year as everything out now seems to be blooming profusely.
The ever present Johnny Jump-ups! Although I noticed there weren't many left from last year.
A new addition to the garden. This one is much smaller then the one I had last year. Maybe a baby?
A small Azalea that has not done much in the 7 or 8 years I've had it. Maybe a little more sun will do the trick.
This is a Lamium, or Dead Nettle. It makes a great ground cover in shade. Once established, it can withstand considerable drought.
Another Lamium in a different color along with Sweet Woodruff, which has a wonderful fragrance.
