Our front yard

I guess this goes into gardening :) I am not the one who does the work, though, that is my roomie.
When I first moved here the thrift looked just like this, but many years of mowing and weed-eating took it's toll. Last year she replanted around the front lot - and this year it has grown in so beautifully :) I wanted to share a couple of pics. I am just so thrilled it has grown so nicely this Spring. Diane |

a couple more -
one of the Iris that grows each year with no effort on our part. [ATTACH]64074[/ATTACH] This one - close up of the thrift. [ATTACH]64075[/ATTACH] |
very pretty, I have lots of that surrounding my beds here, your roomie did a wonderful job
|
I don't think I've ever seen Thrift before. It's lovely. Well done your roomie. :thumbs up

Very pretty, Diane! :cloud9: Nothing like a little color after a dreary spring thaw! I wish we had some here :o

Very pretty dmc. Umm, I think the thrift is actually aubrietta. Thrift is taller with the flower stem about 4 inches or so about the plant. Aubrietta is actually one of the earliest flowering plants in the spring. It is usually grown that way so it spills over the rocks. I love it! I have a couple smaller patches just greening up now. The other plant looks like a bearded iris. Another of my favs but they don't last long. :(
Can I borrow your roomie for a few weeks? I can't seem to find the energy to get out to my flower beds yet.:o |
