PAULA'S GARDEN

We have a new Master Gardener, so we went out to take photos of her garden to share with you. Paula always has the most beautiful hostas and roses. Her husband is a metalsmith so she has lots of beautiful metal garden structures. I took so many beautiful photos that it may take a week to share them all, so stop back by.
Nice shady spot by the pond to sit.
Two gazebos made by Paula's husband.
I love this little fishing boy by the pond.Well I have shown you the structures of the garden, so check back and I will share photos of the flowers.

COMING EVENTS

A BEAUTIFUL NEW IRIS

I love this iris. It is one passed around by members of the garden club-don't know the name.It was pulled up and brought bare root to a plant swap we had last month. I brought it home and planted it two days later, and now it is blooming. I say any plant that can take this much abuse is a keeper. I would advise anyone to go to plant swaps or plant sales-you never know what you might find.
