More Iris are in Bloom

There are new blooms in the iris bed: from left to right; Pallida Variegata (not blooming yet,) Mesmerizer (blooming,) Amas (not blooming yet,) Celebration (blooming,) Beverly Sills (not blooming yet,) Yakima Blue (blooming,) Crowned Heads (blooming,) Wabash (blooming,) Ginger Snap (not blooming yet,) Gracchus (not blooming yet,) Hello Darkness(not blooming yet,) Ruby Morn(not blooming yet,) and Stepping Out (not blooming yet.)

I've also put in a new bed along the south side of the house and planted 3 rose bushes that I got for under $10.00 at WalMart: Abraham Lincoln (deep red) Queen Elizabeth (pink) and Bloom (white.) Carter had already planted two rows of zinnias seeds (dwarf in front of 3-foot red) and the roses are spaced about 4-5 feet apart along the rows of zinnias--all are 3 feet from the house. The zinnias are coming up (April 25, 2007)
