I like to look at the photos from the Australian blogs. I ought to put them up as wallpaper on my computer. That would be a nice reminder.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-55657222853801316532009-05-30T12:18:01.104-04:002009-05-30T12:18:01.104-04:00Beautiful, beautiful pictures.

I love to watch them as they unfold. They are so beautiful in bud all the way through their blossoming time.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-4543964613800884812009-05-30T08:47:28.806-04:002009-05-30T08:47:28.806-04:00Toni, I grew up in Colorado and moved out here. So...Toni, I grew up in Colorado and moved out here. So in a way that was kinda near you. Sort of :><br /><br />wormandflowers, My favorite iris is the Japanses iris, my second is the Siberian. Though I like German irises, they don't grab me like the others.<br /><br />Kim, I usually eat mine cooked. I just picked some more today. Just one leaf from each of my eight plants. The leaves are so huge that it makes a nice meal.<br /><br />keewee, rain is probably my second favorite time to photograph flowers. My first is the morning light shining through the blossoms. Sadly my garden is mostly in shade during the morning so I don't get a lot of those.<br /><br />our friend Ben, I'm with you. You can't beat something that looks so stunning and you can eat. Yum.<br /><br />Cynthia, sadly she is my slowest grower, so she may not make the cut to next year. But she does have some nice looking flowers. When I did my post on tomato flowers last winter I was very annoyed. I had no good shots of the flowers themselves. So I figured this year I would get some.<br /><br />Dan, I often cut the flowers from my perennial borders. I rarely get to see them. They are on the other side of the fence. They help dress up the garden, but I wish I saw them in all their glory more often. Thanks for the timing. It looks like after the onions I can only do short things like spinach, tatsoi and komatsuna. Good to know. July is hard though. If it is the middle of July I can put a lot of things there. If it is the end I can only do the really short things. Hmmm. I'm wondering if I should just use it to try to overwinter plants again. It is my warmest bed. It thaws out in the spring before any of the other beds. I want to try to overwinter lettuce (MQS), spinach, mache (though I need to get seed, hopefully someone will have some to trade after theirs goes to seed this spring) and maybe some bunching onions. I really would like to use a small bit of it to grow some Chinese cabbage this fall. Where I have them now will be in dense shade in the fall. It is pretty much all shade now and I'm really shocked they are growing at all.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50258680044963590312009-05-30T08:34:26.650-04:002009-05-30T08:34:26.650-04:00I do love the siberian iris, not the bearded thoug...I do love the siberian iris, not the bearded though. I'm so excited that things are starting to bloom in the garden again. Makes me happy to go outside & walk around the yard.

Next year I am hoping the only thing I need to do is plant & weed.<br /><br />PS, My onions last year were harvested Aug 19th and I believe garlic should finish some time in July. My garlic are just starting to flower so July should be a good guess.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-9825300029962997852009-05-29T20:09:21.444-04:002009-05-29T20:09:21.444-04:00Beautiful rain-soaked flowers Daphne.

I am a big fan of Siberian iris. Your royal blue one is stunning. I think mine is not going to bloom this year because of the drought like you said. I should have water it more as it was getting established.
