We are gradually adding gardens to our property that was all grass when we bought it last year. We dug five new gardens this spring, though it will take a few more years to have more garden than grass.... Here are some pics of what is blooming this week ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/yellowiris.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/purpleiris.jpg) Irises both yellow and purple. ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/whitepeonyedit.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/pinkpeony.jpg) White and pink peonies. The white ones were buried in gravel last year, still blooming... that's one tough plant. ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/roseandbee.jpg) This is a Manitoba wild rose. We brought it to Ontario almost ten years ago. This is its third home since then. ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/thecelticfrog/purpleflower.jpg) and this purple thing my wife says is a columbine?

That is definately no Columbine, Colorado State flower. We dug one to take back to Texas before we found out it was against the law to desturb them. -- no
A hint to the wise is sufficient! Experience is the best teacher!

Actually that is a columbine... They vary a bit from the standard columbine shape... Believe the variety is "Black Barlow" because I just happened to notice one at a garden shop the other day and thought it very cool.

Awesome way cool pictures!

I like the pics, very nice. Sitka is right on his identification of the Columbine, they come in a bunch of different varieties. Do need a gardener Celtic? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I just dig'em. My wife is in charge of planting and (gasp) weeding. She asks me what I think we should plant, and I usually nod my head and agree with her plans.

Beautiful! I love iris, but haven't had any luck getting any to grow. Ditto on the peonies. I love peonies, but don't even try because our property is way too shady. Peonies need a spot with almost constant sun.
