Springtime Garden


We have lots of yellow and purple irises.

Our garden is more of a springtime garden, rather than a summer spectacular.  Summers are very hot and dry, and anything that requires too much water just isn’t going to make it here.  Spring’s seasonal rains and damp weather helps everything flourish.  We mow the lawn weekly just trying to keep it in check, but as soon as summer’s heat sets in, most things have wilted and even the grass goes yellow.  We generally don’t have to mow again until autumn. Summer has its advantages, but not for our flowers, so that’s why I say it’s a springtime garden.  It’s at its best about now, so let me share some of the flowers we have blooming.

These remind me of yellow pom-poms, but I have no idea what they are called.
