Further proof that much of what I do in life is geeky, below is a flower pr0n shot of one of our favorite iris in the garden – this particular one the Starship Enterprise iris, from Schreiner’s iris gardens.

Fall is hanging on in the back yard. This is a fairly unusual variant of Japanese maple – unfortunately we didn’t document the exact hybrid when we planted it but if I remember I’ll update this. It’s a lovely magenta in spring, green edged with crimson all summer, and a riot of color in fall. It’s growing more like a vine maple than a tree and is supposed to reach 12-15′ tall and wide.
The photo in lieu of an actual post is courtesy of NaNoWriMo, which is proceeding swimmingly, thank you, with almost 20K words to date. Onwards!

This is crocosmia. It’s a long spike-like branch of tiny blooms, and very pretty in large masses. It’s Zach’s great photography that makes it look as impressive as a daylily.

Our helianthus are in bloom early – they’re usually late summer/autumn flowers.
It’s lavender season! I love the scent.
We have fabulous roses, courtesy of the folks who lived here before. This one’s the size of a salad bowl and the scent is wonderful.
More great roses – these are long stemmed and beautiful.

This is the Nordic Iris, a prolific bloomer.
The first rose of the season, bravely blooming in spite of the chilly, wet, windy weather.
Our clematis is tumbling down under its own weight. That’s Zach behind Cousin It.
Our honeysuckle, too, collapsed today off the trellis in the wind under its own weight.
One of the honeysuckle blossoms – it’s a Pink Lemonade variety.
