In full bloom

I decided that Saturday morning was a good time to snap some pictures of the landscaping around our house. I dropped mom off to the airport early in the morning and after getting a little more sleep, got up and took the dogs for a walk. The rain had not come yet so everything looked calm and the flowers were opening up. We have a wide assortment of flowers. But there are a lot of Iris's around the yard. I took a few shots of the front and back to give a little idea of the landscaping.

By the street we have a patch of Morning Glories and a few Irises. Closer to the front porch we have all kinds of plants and flowers including Lamb's Ear, Mint, and Hanging roses.
On the other side of the driveway are some rose bushes with several different colors. So far I see red, yellow and orange roses. I will know the rest soon.
In the back by the pond are more Irises of a least 2 varieties. I have to admit that while I am not good with identifying the different flowers and plants, I appreciate the look and design of the yard with what is planted. Maybe with time I will be able to do a better job of identification. Right now I trust in others with more experience. I hope that I can continue to take care of the landscape as good as the previous owners. Click here to see more pictures.
