I hope it self seeds as I only have two rather small ones. Maybe I'll help it along :)<br /><br />I'm rather excited to see the iris show once I divide them - I've not touched them since we moved here years ago so I have a feeling it will make a huge difference.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-92148269540105910132018-06-21T13:00:20.810-04:002018-06-21T13:00:20.810-04:00You may very well be right, Jane - the cultivars a...You may very well be right, Jane - the cultivars are larger and showier (which mine are not) than the natives but mine don't have the ferny foliage so perhaps it's the location that's keeping them on the subdued side.

I have that same aquilegia, they're really good shade plants. Your second aquilegia looks like Nora Barlow; like foxgloves, they can self seed a very long distance on a breezy day! Only two of my irises flowered this year so I have to divide this autumn as well. Can't wait to see photos of your veggie garden in full bloom as well!

I do love bleeding heart, too. From its foliage, I would have guessed your pink bleeding heart was a cultivar, but as you observed in your comment on my BD post, our climates are so different. It's lovely, whether it's native or a cultivar. So, also, are those deep blue Irises. That color gets me every time!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-52566858642458899582018-06-20T14:42:32.686-04:002018-06-20T14:42:32.686-04:00I like your roses and irises!

I wish we could have chosen the bushes they put in our front yard. I love the weigela bush. Also love flowering almond. Love Peonies but have not grown them much.
