This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Iris and Day Lillies......


I have been working out the front of house, the garden that is. Gerry picked up some of the fencing I need so I will try and get that in over the weekend.
I have been awaiting the blooming of the Iris. Finally they have "popped" I can see what colours I have now. I must pick up a few new ones.

Carrie's bird bath looks great now among the flowers. Soon the Bee Balm will bloom and with that in mind I bought one in a darker shade because the last few years only paler ones have shown up. Also soon the Daylilies will be blooming and I noticed I am missing a few of those. I saw some I could not resist when I stopped at Home Depot. So got a couple of new ones.

I love the other Iris, Dutch Iris that is. I have a few around but when I was in Suttons Bay the other day and saw a white and green Iris. If I ever see some of those I will have to get them.



Taking a walk around the gardens I hope you would spot a few Fairies.

In the back by the pond there is one yellow iris this year. It has spread but the others are not ready to flower yet. The pond however was quite prolific this year.

The back garden now has a nice patch of purple and white Iris. It did well this year. The one under the Mountain Ash got so tall it fell over so I must take pity and move it this Fall.


Another pretty one is over by Buds side of the house. That area was all purple and white ones so I am not sure what happened. I must have planted this one a long time ago and now as the others have not bloomed, this one has it's chance.
I took loads of pictures but I think I will leave this post as the Iris and Daylilies for now. The shop hop tired me out haha. I will just show off my new Daylilies.
