Garden Bloggers Bloom Day: April 2014

Days of irises and roses this Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (hosted by May Dreams Gardens). A day late to the party, but here's what was blooming in my garden yesterday.

Moved these iris from the driveway area a couple of falls ago, and finally a bloom!

And bluebonnets going to seed en masse. These are all volunteers from a single bluebonnet that showed up in my front yard last spring.

Somebody's been eating the last burgundy iris, but they put on an excellent show this year. Definitely doing some dividing and transplanting this fall.

Happy late bloom day! And check out May Dreams Gardens for more gardens around the world.
