The Beautiful Iris


This one is one of our favorite of all the different iris we own. We bought it two years ago from Highland Nursery. I am so bad at names so I can't tell you the names of any Iris shown here.


This was a big shrub last year and this year it is a beautiful Gaggle of Iris yet still not as great as we would like it to be but probably will not ever get that way either we kinda let things grow how and where they want to an extent.



We transplanted these Iris last year from shady locations. they are beautiful so close together but, i think I must divide them already so if any one needs Iris please let me know I have plenty and many still unblooming in the shade.



This one was given to us by my Mother who divided her Iris 2 or 3 years ago.It is a gorgeous peach color.

COSMOS

Cosmos are beautiful tall full sun bush-like annuals. They grow to be between 2-3 feet tall. They do come in a miniture variety about 8 inches tall. They come in: white, pink, purple, orange, and even choclate. Plant the seeds in the fall or early spring. They'll start coming up in about April here in Utah. They will bloom from early summer to late fall esspesially if you continue to dead head the whole season long. Try these out I promise that you'll like them. They tend to be bigger than life if you let them take over. So they are perfect for a field in the full sun. Or here and there in a wild garden.

Have you planted your Gladioli?


Ya, neither have I. Here in Utah we are zone 6. It is still getting quite cold at nights and may even snow next week but we are getting excited to plant them. Here Gladioli must be dug up and stored somewhere dry and dark for the winter. But, now it is about time to plant. They range in color from white to pink, orange or a combonation of colors.

POPPIES!!!

Do you have poppies in you landscape? Which poppy is your favorite?
California Poppy

The California Poppy (annual/ tender perennial) comes in yellows, oranges, white, and even pink. It grows to about 12 inches tall on a small bushy plant with beautiful, dusty gray, feathery foliage. It is very drought tolerant but also will grow well with normal watering. it is propagated very easily from seed.

Oriental Poppy

The Oriental Poppy is a very beautiful perennial growing to about 15-24 inches tall with big blooms of reds, pinks, or purples. In this picture it is growing wild in front of a wild yellow rose in the "Poppy Fields"found in the mountains of Utah. Therefore you can tell it is also drought tolerant.

Shirley Poppy

Shirley poppy, mid summer blooming, between 24-36 inches tall, easily comes up from seed each spring. What do you think about the Shirley poppy?
