The Color Purple

Purple is the color that predominates in our garden at this time of year.  I don't think the iris have looked any better, although it turns out that they are probably doing so well because of an irrigation malfunction.  When Cindy checked the drip irrigation systems she discovered that one line was getting no water and the irises were getting lots of it.  No wonder they were happy.

The lavender is also in full flower at this time of year and the bees love it.

I'm Not Sure What This Is, But It's Pretty

And a few other colors, as well.


The only drawback to this climate is that lilacs generally don't do well here because there aren't enough chill hours.
