This row of iris all staked up so they can bloom on a vertical stem, create an unusual composition. I will share it because I have it. I am showing you way too many iris but endure it all as the iris are fading. There will be no more iris posts in the near future.
The spiderwort is in partial bloom. I didn't get it staked this year and it fortunately is standing on it's without any support. I had a magenta colored on that has been destroyed by invading hosta plants.
Pontentilla come in many colors but my white one seems to be a strong bloomer this year. It doesn't like warm weather so it struggles in Iowa in August.
It is a bug portrait again coming from my back yard. This is the rose that I moved from southern Iowa to my south side of my house. It is it's third year in the ground and I am pleased with the way it has rooted in and revived to a wonderful rose. I bought it for my mom years ago and I haven't a clue as to the name of it. I must have paid a lot of money for it as it is such a strong plant with shiny green leaves. It has five blooms on it right now and will rebloom after I trim it back.
It is going to be warm today and that will be great. I have many things on my list to do when I leave the school today. I have found that I can't do it all so I will make a strong effort to get a lot of things done on one of the projects.
I am a floating special ed. teacher today, taking notes about World War 1 and writing poetry for a final project. I don't know the next class that I will be attending as I will be sent in to replace the most critical spot. There are actually two people gone and there is only one of me.
Thanks for stopping by my post today.
