Sharing my garden

In case you have bad weather at your house, here's a bit of color to cheer you :)

My original pink dianthus has sprung many different shades and colors.

I thought all the irises were dark purple, but I guess I was wrong!

The rosebush seems quite happy in its new home by the fence. I think it'll stay there.

I have these gorgeous peony poppies everywhere! I pulled out lots of them last summer, but it didn't seem to make a lot of difference.

The rosebushes along the fence are probably 40 years old. I noticed the first purple bloom yesterday.

Hollard Garden

I'm waiting for the wind to die down so I can work in my garden, 

so Hubby decided to take me to Hollard Gardens today so 

we can have some fresh air and exercise. It's always a treat to see 

the lovely colors.  I was also happy to see the  parking lot about half full of

cars--usually we have the whole garden to ourselves.

I hope you're ready

The spring showers have stirred the seeds and bulbs in my part of the world and I'm pretty sure I'll be posting lots of garden shots, so consider yourself warned. :)

pretty in purple

This lovely color has popped up all over my garden! It must have been hibernating for a while before making its appearance.

My unpredictable garden is still amazing me through the hot, dry weather. I share it with you just in case you need some color today.

Fringe Festival 2015

Each year, usually starting the last weekend in October, we enjoy visiting colorful spring gardens across the area that are registered with the Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival. Once again, we were not disappointed and I couldn't wait to share with you!

primulas

I love these flowers from Hollard Gardens. They have a section of the garden called 'the swamp' and the primulas grow so well there and in so many different colors.

We went to Hollard Gardens for the first time in a few weeks and these quince blossoms (thanks Nicole/Frau Frieda!) is one of many lovely flowers I found. I will post more later.
