Bearded iris is my least favorite of the iris family. I love Siberian’s and Japanese( my Japanese died though, I think).Beautiful pictures, posiepurrs . I'm not a big fan of the bearded iris's, but that pretty peach one might change my mind.

Thank you. Mystery solved.V verna davies that is a rock rose.
That's a Cissus, aka "Rock Rose." Those are so pretty, but I wish they bloomed longer.I'm usually pretty good at identifying plants but this one has me stumped. Anyone recognise it?

If the dahlia grows, it will take over the pot from the tuberous rooted begonia, though not completely. I'd still keep them apart. The begonia has a different resting season than the dahlias do, if memory serves.Astilbe are fussy and prefer wet moist soil. I have 2 of them in the front but because of the drought the past 2 to 3 years they died off. I got those 2 at Lee church plant sale in the 2nd Friday of May. It's their annual sale. There were 5 other sales last Saturday that I was unable to go to due to working.
Ive not made up my mind about working this holiday weekend. I really need to weed and add compost before the plants get too big.
I took some more pictures this afternoon.
Oh and bought a Begonia for 3 bucks at Lowes.
Anyone know how to grow these? I was going to put it in the pot with the bent Dahlia I bought this weekend. Would these 2 be ok together?

Dahlia plant that was bent and almost broke in half. Ive got my trowel holding it in place until it gets established in the pot.

The tiny plant is a yellow petunias from the Ebay plants.
I've discovered that I've got babies growing all over the place:
Daisies
Yallow i believe it's called
Black eyed Susans
I want to dig them up and if anyone wants them you can have them

Daisy's. They bloom for an entire month. June. These are almost ready to open already. They grow 12 to 24 inches tall depending on heat and water. Very drought tolerant. They self seed.

I think this is white Yallow. Or Pink. I've forgotten what color these are. I've got another section of lawn that has 20 to 30 babies growing there. No idea what color..they got mowed down last summer but this is the 8th or 9th summer they came back in this area.
Keep the dahlia happy, and you'll have dahlias out the orifices after a while. They'll multiply biblically if you let them. (I suspect you already know, but this is for others, too.)I ended up putting the begonia in a different pot. There wasn't enough room to put them together...So far the Dahlia is getting stronger but still have it leaning on the trovell.
It was super windy yesterday so moved all teh plants onto the ground and used plywood to block the sides and keep wood chuck out..If I put any plants on the ground the little baloney will eat all my plants. He/she is living under the neighbors shed which is next to the long garden....
We had to do some shopping today- one of our grandnieces has a birthday coming up- and on the way home stopped at a greenhouse and picked up 3 Dianthis for one of the beds by the house. It's amazing how fast the shelves empty once decent weather arrives- and sticks around.
Actually I don't know anything about them. I didn't put new dirt in that pot either...i just dug a hole and plopped it in...so far looks happy. Probably wont be an issue...Keep the dahlia happy, and you'll have dahlias out the orifices after a while. They'll multiply biblically if you let them.

My two cents . . .One thing I'm undecided over regarding my tomato plants is whether to cage them or not. They are still small enough that I still can if I want to, but I have also seen set-ups where 3 wooden staves about 7ft each are lashed together in a tripod to support the plants. Opinions?
I will look up anemone-but quick glance says it's a bulb. I think I got it at a plant sale already established and plopped it in behind the butterfly bush in the newest garden-which needs the most work. Weird how it Blooms in May faithfully even if dought.Looks to be an anemone
There are annual and perennial lupines. Since yours seem to travel, I would guess they are the annual type with birds and wind spreading the seeds.

Those are cherry right? I think those grow 3 feet if I remember correctly but if you compost the heck out of them you could get them bigger...If I had to go by previous years, I would say indeterminate. The varieties are Sweet Million and Sweet 100, if that means anything.
One is a cherry, the other a grape, and yes, because of the clay soil here, I compost the snot out the growing beds. In fact, for the 8' by 9' bed, I used 5 wheelbarrow loads, along with 3 cu.ft. of perlite and 9 bags of garden soil, so in spite of all the rain we got, it didn't turn into a mud hole.Those are cherry right?
