iris and columbine






so, after the onslaught of tulips in our yard this spring, we're excited to announce that we have iris and columbine coming out in full bloom. we have about 20 columbine that we've had no idea what they were until they finally bloomed as we've never had columbine before--such a beautiful, showy flower--but more importantly, blooming in our yard without any help from us. aahh!! the fruits of the labors of the those came before. i'm sure the people who bought our house in colorado aren't exactly leaping for joy now that the snow has melted and they're getting a full dose of those thistles--yuck! the bane of my existence! columbine, not so much :) hold out for the BLACK iris that has yet to bloom. i know, i'm dying to see what it looks like too.

We had a bazillion iris' in our yard last year, and ended up tearing out about half. I wish I had some columbine.
