This morning, while Geff was raking leaves down in the horse shoe pit, I cleaned out around the roses and and fertilized them. I really should have cleaned out around them earlier. I was amazed at how many buds are already on the roses. We did lose one rose over the winter, but the others appear to be healthy.
After cleaning out around the roses, I decided to get some close ups of some of the flowers that are already blooming.
There are the irises. The previous owners had planted them, and while I initially didn't really care for them, I've come to enjoy how beautiful they are. I think that there are just yellow and purple plants now, but I am going to keep my eyes out for some white iris plants like our neighbors have.

And, while I've forgotten the name, this little xeriscopic flower always makes me smile because it reminds me of a daisy...a very short, small daisy.
The only other plants blooming right now are the dianthus.
