Blooming Idiots

There are two types of blooming idiots that live at our house...the plant kind and of course the human kind....these are the pretty ones!

I love this sedum ground cover...it will grow anywhere and it even volunteers to come up in other unsuepectiong places.

We called this the wall garden by the bus stop but the new name is perfect...our Memorial Garden. It is in full bloom just around Memorial Day. Anyone want some daises? I think I will load all the kids on the bus up with a hand full for their teachers on Tuesday.

The daisies always shine.  This year they better up their game because the Knock-out Roses are beautiful.

The smaller beardless iris are blooming all over the yard in various colors of purple.  Never knew we had so many.

I thought for sure that this Knockout rose bush was a gonner after Mark whacked it almost to the ground in the beginning of spring.

Really don't know where these came from...must have been from Sweet Pap.

I'm not positively sure but I think there might be two for one here.  The roses on the bottom seem to be a brighter red and the rose that is blooming at the top of the trellis is a darker red.

We have decided that the deer must have plenty to eat because these rose actually got to bloom this year.

Roses are blooming all over the yard.  We have really never had much luck with them but this year they are blooming all over the place...places I forgot we had.  I love when that happens.

False indigo...we had the most beautiful plant right at the end of the fence on the driveway in WI...it was beautiful.  Finally we have some in Cincinnati!  I hope to harvest seeds and start some more inside this winter.  The leaves are such a pretty greet and then the blooms are beautiful...this shot does them no justice.
