A Walk in the Garden 
your post might be wordless but I must use words to comment! A gorgeous array of summer blooms; the incredible variety of bearded Irises is boundless; mine have all finished flowering now so it was with extra pleasure that I could see yours.

Thank you, Christina. The iris is a reblooming variety; it surprised me mightily by blooming this week. I didn’t expect it again until the fall.

Your garden looks amazing. No caterpillars there! Thanks for visiting my New England Garden. Your hydrangeas are so blue. Do you add aluminum sulfate or is it just your low pH?

Yes, we add acidfier to make sure they come out blue. One is blue regardless.

I envy your hydrangea. I’m hoping I put enough acid down to turn my Nikko Blues blue. But, I suspect that will never happen with my very porous alkaline soil.

Thank you. I’m surprised your Nikko Blue isn’t blue. But plants are funny that way.

Wow that yellow iris i haven’t seen also, just like you not having seen hoya yet. But i love most those blue hydraengeas. I guess its pot is very basic to produce those lovely blue. About hoya, they are growing well even in temperate country gardens with extreme temps like North Sweden, Canada and the cold US states.

Thank you, Andrea. The yellow iris was the first reblooming iris I ever saw. I had to have one, of course, and my good friend gave me a few from her garden.

A beautiful selection of plants. I was looking for a word to describe the yellow iris – I think that word is opulent.

Karen. How very nice to hear from you and glad you found my blog. Can’t believe it’s almost eleven years since we left GC. We are fine and happy here. I have had a group of plein air painters come to the garden on several occasions. You are welcome to come and paint anytime. My best to Travis.
