Visit to the Secret Garden (PIX)

[rebbetzin]

On Friday I visited the Secret Garden of my nextdoor neighbor.

It is such a wonderful place. Right now the Iris is in bloom.

Here are some of the photos I took.

Purple and White.

Tan and White

Pale Lavendar

Deep Purple

That one seemed to glow in the sunlight, the edges are a copper color.

There were Baby Grapes just forming

The Honeysuckle Arch and Poppies gone crazy.

and this is my neighbor pulling some weeds from the Huge Sage that is in bloom!

Oh, I love irises... Ours will open here soon. Such a sweet smell.

And those are some very happy grapes!

Why is it you can't grow bearded Iris in Florida? I have gotten 2-3 to bloom over the 10 years I've been trying. I don't want to admit how many have died in the process. I'm an experienced gardener, know how to make the right soil mix for them, etc. I have grown them in Arkansas and Kentucky....but not here in Fl. I even had one major iris catalog co. refuse to send me a catalog because they said I couldn't successfully grow them here. I love them so and I just wish I knew why my struggles are not working out.
