Garden Pics and other items

First off we planted some new Creeping Phlox, Peonys and 3 little Pine trees yesterday and I promised pics so here they are.

Pine Tree (1 of 3…only one photoed)  yes its abit dry and spindly but unfortunately we werent able to replant it when he brought it/them home. Hopefully they all survive. This one didnt however survive the multiple freezes last yr…This pine (in the back of the truck) was planted by Brian’s Dad David back in the Mid 70s when his Grandma first moved into the house we live in. Last April it was greening up despite the freeze earlier in the season that killed some of the branches and we got slammed by another ice storm and freeze that killed it off. Cutting it was inevitable bit we didnt want to until we had a replacement.

The old Iris bed is blooming right along  there are alot of fresh bloom, dying off blooms and new buds getting ready to bloom in there! It is really prettier than this pic shows. Hows this for fast blooming yesterday  this is what the first Iris bud in the new bed looked like…and  this is what it looked like this morning when I went out to check on my flowers.

And finally the new Phlox plants placed along the retaining wall… Not sure if this is Phlox or not but the flowers are Phlox like so are trying it and it is pretty.  This is regular Blue Phlox. New Pink Phlox and a new color we hadnt seen before…It looks white in the pic but it is actually a pink and white varigated one… I cant wait for these guys to grow out and into the older ones along the wall that I have shown several times. Thats all for today, I need to go get a shower and get ready to go out with Brian, Josey, and my folks for a belated Birthday dinner for Brian at Red Lobster tonight. Have a Nice Weekend all and I will see ya Monday!
