Out in the yard....

These grassy looking clumps are actually Japanese Iris. They grow in a ring formation and with each passing year are found stronger and bolder. Their flowers will be delicate though, similar to butterflies hovering above their grassy base. Soon they will form buds and blossom. 







We were gifted with strawberry plants that have now filled a generous section of the herb bed. Rich with blossoms, we expect an abundant crop of fruit, our first.




We have a Hosta bed that surrounds the base of a tree, lined with rocks for an edging. Hostas are wonderful for shade and create a pretty textured leafy display all season.

Thats my bit of yard tour for today. I pray you have lovely weather for gardening.

Regards,
Betty
