Gardening: Growing Succulents

One of my best friends has a knack for growing plants. Everything he touches thrives and looks so amazing. I just love spending time poking through the garden. One of the things that he has been working on is succulents. He has been expanding his collection and even propagating some too. They are so cool.

Gardening: Growing Succulents

One of the neat ones he has is this succulent that reminds me of a ribbon. I cannot find the name of it, but it looks so neat! These plants are perfect to grow in so many climates and indoors too. I wish I had his talents! LOL Do you enjoy these types of plants?

Purple Bearded Iris

How many of you love to plant a flower garden? I’ve been gardening for about 10 years now and absolutely love it! Every season I learn more and more about it and I am always trying out new things!

A few years ago my great auntie introduced me to the Purple Bearded Iris and I knew right away that I had to plant a few. Okay, I went overboard and planted a lot!

Back in May all of my Iris’ came into full bloom and what a beautiful colorful sight we had here on our property. I had peach, yellow, light purple and dark purple Iris that were the hit of our neighborhood!

This gardening season was my best one yet when it comes to growing these pretties! Mine got 2 to 2 1/2 foot tall and were saturated in color. I love that every year they come back and bloom during the month of May.

For my “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post this evening I am sharing one of my dark purple bearded Iris photos with all of you. Enjoy!
