My Wife's Iris's and a bleeding heart

These are some peach bearded iris's that were are planning to replant in a new bed this year.
Here are the bleeding hearts under the tree. It's the first time in 3 years that the frost didn't get it. The picture doesn't show it justice. It is huge.

These are a few big iris's at the end of an old timey iris bed as everyone calls them


Here are the old timey purple iris's. They are small compared to the bearded iris, but still very pretty.



Here is her orange bearded iris's. They are our favorite of all the iris's. She wanted me to post some pictures of them. I told her that it's not to manly to post flowers on a man's website. She said you're not manly you're married. That is a different philosophy but I guess it works.

  1. Oh, what beautiful flowers! I think it's quite alright to post flower pictures if you're a guy. It takes a lot of backbreaking work to get flower beds like that.

  2. What beautiful irises! Thanks for your comments re: bees. As you plant your farm, keep pollinators in mind and plant something for them! Take a look at this website: www.themelissagarden.com

    They have the best list of what to plant. Also consider the concept of hedgerows for attracting pollinators. Thanks for stopping by my site.

  3. I think it's fine for you to post pics of flowers. Tell your wife that they are beautiful. You could suggest to her that she start a blog, too. It would be interesting to see her perspective of life on the farm.
