The garden in spring....


This is the view from our gazebo looking out into the backyard.  The birdbath has heavy use in the evening when the finches, robins and cardinals come to drink and bathe.  The pond contains fish, tadpoles and bullfrogs.
Four colors of iris; two are: Back in Black and Pledge of Allegiance.  There's also Campanula, columbine, knautia, cone flowers, black-eyed susans, sundrops and a yellow rose planted there.
 More iris and three of the peonies as well as a stand of zebra grass.
 White native water lilies.
 Resident bullfrog in the top pond.
