Such pretty flowers in bloom up there! Iris is our state’s flower (Tennessee) so they’re everywhere around here. Love those pink dianthus, too :)
Have a great Sunday!

Wow, these flowers are great, but the first one with the nice purple colour is something really special.

I think the first Iris is my fave altho they are all wonderful pictures! Yesterday I took a picture of a plant that looked JUST like your 3rd pic. I haven’t posted it yet tho.

Iris is my favourite but look at all those other spring beauties! Pinks, and clematis… I can’t remember when my clematis blooms here but surely not with the dianthus? or does it. I love this time of year.

Beautiful flowers! I recognized them all except the pink one Dianthus. I have never seen it before. It’s gorgeous! I’m not sure if you can find it in Canada.
Btw, I’m not sure if you’d know the green plant is hostas.

I couldn’t ask for a better Sunday!
Beth Ellen,
Thank you! I love how this clematis is crawling my fence.
pierterbie,
Thanks! That happens to be my favorite.
Harmonia,
I cannot wait to see your pictures!
Sassy,
Thanks! The flowers make it easy. They’re truly lovely.
Ottawta Gardener,
The clematis and dianthus are about 30 feet away from each other so no they aren’t close together.
Lisa,
Thank you! My dianthus have done well this year.
ladynred!
Aha! That’s the name. Thank you! I could not remember it for anything. I received these plants from my mother.

I love the photo of the clematis.
I have a white one that is very similar.
Your photos are lovely.
