Lovely photo's everyone

Dizi,you even have the greenfly preserved forever in your photo.He is a star :D

 

One of my most favorite flowers is the bearded iris, I don't know what it is about them - I just love 'em! This one has a beautiful, yet unique fragrance - no idea where I got it - any ideas of the name anyone?

 

Lovely photos Jarbax they are my favourite flower.I will have to research the name in my Iris books

 

What a really beautiful bearded iris JarBax, so graceful and fragile, like out of a fairy tale.

 

Wow!

 

Ditto!!

I have just bought a couple of small arum lillies from the Malvern flower show.

Two questions if you don't mind:

Can I plant them out now in the garden? or should I wait untill they are a little bigger?

Seeing yours in a pot has given me another option though.

Will they grow agin next year?

And finally do slugs like them?

Oops that's three :D

Not in my own garden - but this paeony (?) caught my eye. The bloom was huge!

Had a terrible time trying to upload these to photobucket, this is the 4th attempt as it just kept crashing. Hope you like them.

Lovely pics Celia and Jarbox. One of my favorites is Incarvillea delavayi, known as the flowering fern. It grows from what looks like a carrot root. Very hardy and long flowering.
