A few back yard photos from our recently blooming Japanese Iris.

They’re smaller and more densely packed than the giant bearded variety.

And to be honest a lot easier to deal with.

A lovely annual burst of purple.

And then there’s this showy shrub that blooms at the same time.

The Weigela.

A deep red beauty.

River's world..... 
That purple 🤩

These were here and already established when we moved in. But I’ve separated a few and started them in other beds too.

I had lots of blooming shrubs about ten years ago, but the larger trees are crowding them out. Love the weigela.

Yes me too. I had at least four different ones and I don’t think any of them are still in the borders.
