The columbine seem to be lasting longer than before and now I am fighting aphids on them and my lupines which haven't bloomed all the way. I think I might have it under control or I at least hope I do. Those little bugs can destroy a plant fast..

I love Iris of all colors. Yours are very striking and bright. They look very nice as the house as a background. Like you nice 'Welcome' sign. Great shots.

You've got adorable irises! The columbines have such fresh colours too. Pesky aphids. I hope you'll win the battle.

Great looking blooms Sherry! I like the color of that rust colored Iris...so different from the regular purple ones I see everywhere. My Columbine's are really struggling this year.

Really like the columbine too -- just bought a few today -- I hope they are as pretty as yours in the Spring. I like the Welcome sign too.
