The plants on this side of the house (peony, geranium and hosta) have made a pretty picture all spring.
Out of more than twenty redbud trees in our garden, this is the only one with seed pods this pinky red color.
All the redbud trees are Eastern Redbuds except one, which is a ‘Forest Pansy’ redbud. The leaves are a beautiful red color.
Under the mulberry tree is a small bench, a quiet place to sit and enjoy the hosta beds.
‘Super Nova’ is nearby and is looking pretty good.
Gold sedum makes a pretty ground cover in the fenced garden.
One of my favorite Siberian irises is ‘Gull’s Wing.’ It’s a bright white and has just started to bloom.
Another current bloomer is the pink rose, which came from DH’s family farm. It blooms for several weeks and smells wonderful! We don’t know the name. It belonged to his grandmother, if not even farther back in the family.
The kitties are part of the garden, too. Zilli keeps a close eye on the bird house…just in case…
And Zak finds a drink in the bird bath…
Iris season is basically over. There are a few blooming here and there. The old fashioned yellows are still blooming! They begin early and hang on until the end. Great fill in the beds. But even they will be done soon. Then we’ll move into daylily season…I’m eager to see them bloom!
Visit more gardens at Bloomin’ Tuesday. Enjoy!

Wow your garden looks amazing Rhonda. I love the bench in the Hosta Bed, that looks like a cool place to sit on a hot day. 🙂
Beautiful gardens. I love the side garden combination and the pink roses. Thanks for sharing.

Your cats look very content.
I can’t even believe you have all this in your garden.
Now that I’ve opened the bake shoppe, I have even less time for yard work.
I am planning on fixing up my peonies soon. I’ll have to post pictures just for you!!
Everything looks beautiful.
