Garden Bloggers Bloom Day: April 2013
So, I'm a day late for Bloom Day, but there's lots of color in the garden right now. To start off, gaura against a backdrop of Mexican feathergrass.
Mutabilis rose
Getting to know what kind of irises I have planted around the house, which is very exciting. Now I have to remember to mark them, so I know what I'm dividing in the fall.
Larkspur
Bougainvillea and cosmos are happy to be ignored near where the cars are parked
Globe mallow and blackfoot daisy in the curb strip
Missouri primrose, curb strip
Iris under the crepe myrtle
Copper canyon
More deep burgundy iris along the side of the house (my favorite color so far)
To see more of what was blooming yesterday, check out May Dreams Gardens.

You do have a lot of color and for some odd reason it made me remember that I want to plant nasturtiums this year. Very nice photos!
Thanks, and I love nasturtiums! Saw some orange and yellow ones down the street, tumbling over a stone wall.
Lovely blossoms. I do love and envy that burgundy iris, because I've never had any luck with growing irises, an allegedly "easy" plant.
Thanks. This "easy" plant took a couple of years to bloom for me. The ones that were divided and transplanted (with a little bone meal added in the fall) are blooming only a little more than the ones on the side of the house that I didn't touch. So, still learning...
