i think those pink clematis will fade towards more white as the blossoms age, but they are still beautiful. we have the same type here.

irises can sure take over in the full sun.

just for grins, i thought they looked like a big fan tail goldfish...

i don't know why, but Mom did not like the large yellow irises and so when i had to move some of them she didn't want them out front, but instead i just put them along the fence in the back along the big ditch (and by put, i don't mean planted and cleared a spot for them, i just pretty much dumped them in a pile and let them sort themselves out). they've happily bloomed there for the years since then (including this year) and i did ask Mom again this year if she wanted me to move a few out front. no. no explanation, just no... *shrug*

Stump progress!

Last ones standing, soon to be gone too! Pressure blasting the roots and then making strategic cuts.

They do, not quite to white but very pale pink. When they're born they are deeply, luxuriously pink & gorgeous tho.
