The PCIs (Pacific Coast Iris) are opening now. Had three today. This dark purple beauty might be Night Editor but I can't find a pic to compare. Whatever it is it is covered in blooms. Stunning.
The next came from my Great Aunt Glady's place in Morrisonville, IL. It might be I. kochii but my IK has never bloomed so I can't compare them. Argh.
Last for irises is Chanted. A wonderful little pink with a blue beard. The camera just won't capture the smokiness, making it too pink.
The pansy with the Mexican feather grass in the pot grouping beside the front door is just amazing. We have enjoyed it so much, along with all the succulents planted in the terracotta and 'tufa pots.
And what would spring be without bleeding hearts? Sad, I tell you, just sad. I adore bleeding hearts. Actually, anything in the dicentra family or its relatives is loved here. Corydalis? Love it. Climbing bleeding heart? Love it. Love'em all.
More to come...

Pansy and Mexican Feather grass coupling, FAB-YOU-LUS! Who knew?
Things always look so neat and tidy at your place. I think I am a bit of a chaotic gardener.
I'm jealous you can grow bleeding hearts. My Mom grew lush ones, mine just look like spindly little weaklings.
More pics please?
That pansy planted itself there. I thought it was fabulous as well.
My place almost never looks neat. There usually a million things sitting around looking trashy. It's all a work in progress ya know. Here's the trick - only take pics of the pretty stuff. Everyone thinks my garden is amazing but really it is just an illusion. But its getting there slowly.
