Japanese Iris
A breathtaking beauty, with its slender sword-like leaves and elegant blooms the Japanese Iris is a must-have in my garden.
Lily of the Valley
With its small nodding bell-shaped flowers, and a sweet perfume, Lilly of the Valley is a beautiful ground cover, but be aware that all parts are highly poisonous.
Finding Beauty Outside
Please enjoy these water droplet pictures from my walks and trips into the garden.
Praying Mantis
I found this beauty on my car – he did turn to look at me as I took his picture which could be a little alarming for some of us – but leaving aside the initial fear of that stare, they are without a doubt quite exquisite.
