Walking around town this week, I found this melon-colored Hibiscus, freshly planted in a container in front of one of our town's nicest restaurants.
In town, also, are these Impatiens and mini Wave Petunias.
This hot pink peony is planted near the Guilford Green.
One of my pale blue bearded Iris, just after a rain storm.
June's pansy pots are loving their perfect mix of rain and sun.
A pale blue Iris, perfectly formed for today's photo.
The dark burgundy Iris blooming in front of one of Pink Gardens' brick fireplace chimneys.
Another gorgeous, painted flowerbox full of color, in town.
The burgundy Iris take on a completely different hue in the bright sunshine, much more magenta. Their golden beards stand out in the sun, too.
This vibrant, deep red peony was found near the Guilford Green. What a spectacular color. I've never seen such a dark red peony before!
One of my violet-color Iris in the middle of a light rain. No, I really don't know to come in from the rain!
A bluer-hued purple Iris variety is nearby. Those granite slab steps in the background date to Pink Garden's earliest history, the mid 1700s.
BERGUNDY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLORS FOR A FLOWER. IRIS FLOWERS REMINDS ME OF OUR BACKYARD WHEN I WAS A CHILD. MOM WOULD CUT A HALF DOZEN AND BRING THEM INTO THE HOUSE TO ENJOY. LOVE THEM. LOVED TODAYS PICTURES. IT MAKES ME WISH I WAS THERE TO TAKE A WALK AROUND YOUR TOWN [ON MY LITTLE RED].
ReplyDeleteYOU NEVER DISAPPOINT ME.
THANKS FOR SHARING.

Thanks, Granny! Always very kind words. Good to know, too, as I frequently disappoint people in real life . . . One reason why I like to grow and photograph flowers—no judgment, lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always! The last iris is what I grew up with...we had others but that was/is the prominent color.
ReplyDeleteI don't have irises where I live now, but when I looked at yours I literally caught a whiff of them..is that even possible? It was wonderful..what memories..thank you for that.

CASEY, I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY BACK A FEW YEARS AGO. IF SOMEONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH ME IT'S THEIR PROBLEM. WORDS HURT AND SOMETIME PEOPLE DON'T THINK BEFORE THEY SPEAK. I LOOK AT IT AS POOR UP BRINGING. IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE I SAY KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. SO DON'T LET ANYONE RAIN ON YOUR PARADE. YOUR A GOOD PERSON. I CAN JUST TELL. ALSO, VERY SMART.LIKE I'VE SAID TO YOU BEFORE, WHEN I LEAVE YOUR BLOG EVERY DAY I LEARN SOMETHING NEW, PLUS,I GET LOTS OF ENJOYMENT.
