First Bloom - My Bearded Iris

Mosaic Monday

I love to make Mosaics.  The process of the image and placement is a beautiful form of art.
I was going out to my garden yesterday for a photo shoot. But the weather was so rainy and windy, I decided to pick the flowers and bring them into the house for the photo shoot.  I am so glad I did just that.  I had a grand time using my new macro lens.

I have a large bed of bearded Iris.  Iris grow well in our climate.  I have them planted under a large Don Juan climbing rose bush for shade during the hot summer.  They need good drainage and divide after 3-4 years.

The Heuchera are called Alum Root or Coral Bells.  The compact bell-shaped flowers are dainty and long lasting in cut arrangements.  Also hummingbirds are attracted to the bright colors.  I have them well protected under a pomegranate bush and they are one of the first flowers that bloom in the spring.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit.  Please come back soon. If you leave a comment and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

I would like to say thanks to Mary @ Little Red House for hosting this Mosaic Monday.  Please jump back and see more at Mary's place.
