Wolf's Den

My Japanese Irises have started blooming. I'm thinking the Siberians won't this year, as they are too crowded and need transplanting as soon as I get a new raised bed built for them. My final German Bearded bloomed first this past weekend, while I was out of town, but still had both open and unopened blooms/buds so I could get good photos this week.

'Iceburg' German Bearded Iris

This one is a late bloomer. It first started over the weekend, while I was out of town, and has continued since.

A pale icey blue, with deeper lavender-blue 'beard' and throat. A gorgeous Iris like the rest.

Only one flower stalk on this one as well, as the Tansy that self seeded from my original plant(8ft away, go figure) is crowding it out.

They finally bloomed over the weekend and are still going strong.

Tomorrow, we're heading over to my favorite Nursery with the bro in law and sis in law. So I'm hoping to find at least 2 colors of German Bearded that I don't have- a yellow shade and a red shade. I have nearly every other color so far.}:)

I also have plans to build a new raised bed down the far side of the driveway (I use reclaimed bricks mostly for the front beds), along the sidewalk, as well as extend the 'L' shaped one on the opposite side, along what little bit of a 'lawn' we have, lol.

So that, combined with rebuilding my pond, as well as building a raised herb garden across from the veggie garden, will be my projects for the rest of this spring and summer.
