  • Name this plant!
  • There's only one flower spike in about five iris plants in my garden.
  • It's gorgeous, but lonely
  • Love the colour variations between the upper and lower petals. Plus the nectar stripes are so pretty.

Gardening: One Lonely Iris

Last year, I planted a number of iris cuttings from a friend. The only one to bloom has just opened. They are in full sun and I planted them shallow as I've done before successfully. What could be wrong?

    I have a collection of Iris's , they are great in boarders or areas of half sun / half shade. ...»
    They do love water rather it be first thing in the morning or evening. Before long you will have a infection of Iris where you will have to find some one to give them to.

Gardening: What is this??

It is growing beside the road, at my neighbors house. It is growing up into a tree. I think its kind of pretty .. but would like to know what it is first, before I go poking around in it.

  • Name this plant!

Gardening: I have a plant that has pink in the middle and yellow around sides.

These plants get a flower first then a large leaved tall plant, beautiful red colors running thru the middle if the green leaf. I starts out with a pink flower and yellow flowers around the sides then next to it it shuts up these tall leaves.

  • My take on the garden hose wreath.
  • Window boxes on the fence.
  • A gift from my son, who knows my fetish oh so well.
  • Hostas in containers.
  • The iron work on the fence is a bit of an old bench. I moved this chair into this area and added a bicycle basket planter on the fence.
  • My tower has grown by one more level this year and continues to be one of my favorite elements.
  • I have such a fetish for galvanized stuff.
  • My neighbors had to remove four towering pines this spring..changing the quality of light.
  • Hangers on the shed with spray painted pots.
  • Wax begonias under planting boxwoods in patio pots.
  • A bit of silliness.
  • I love geraniums.
  • I love container gardening, especially when I can put together unusual combinations of greenery.
  • Just another view of one of two thrifted planters...my husband dreams of huge ceramic planters and I dream of affording them!
  • Hose wreath number two--yep, I am so cheap, er thrifty,that I cut one hose in two.
  • A moment of silence for the three trees we lost this winter.  Hello roses.
  • So, if you have an old aquarium stand laying about, I have a suggestion for you.

Beginning to Look Like Spring...

It sure feels like my garden is off to a very slow start. What a Schizophrenic start we have had to the growing season. In just a few short weeks we have had snow, 100 degree temperatures, and a bit of a cold snap.

Gardening: What is this? Is it a weed or a type of spinach

I found this growing in my carrot bed this spring, I let it grow but I still haven't figured out what it is. I shared my vegetable garden with my neighbor last season and I know he planted something late last summer. The simple resolution would be to ask him but he moved. Anyone with suggestions would be much appreciated,

  • Leaves are soft not spiked like a pine tree.
  • Right now it's about 3" tall.
  • Some are smaller.

Gardening: Weed?

I have this coming up all through my flowerbed. Can anyone tell me what it is? I can't find anything online that even looks remotely close. I live in the West Central part of Oklahoma if that means anything...

Gardening: A mystery plant has shown up in my flower bed. Any one know what it is

At first I was worried that it was Hog Weed, but after looking at photos on line I'm not sure.
