Spent a good deal of time gardening this long weekend.

Biggest bloomers right now are the broom and the irises.

Broom. This picture doesn’t do justice to the sheer number of flowers on the broom. The plant is probably about 7 feet tall right now, and the vast majority is covered in these small scarlet and yellow flowers.

Close up of the Broom. Again, the pictures hardly do justice to how beautiful the plant is in person.

One of the Irises along the side of the house.

Another Iris on the side of the house, with the other iris bed in the background.

I have pictures of the other colors of irises I have in my Flickr photostream.
