My Iris and Honeysucle....

This is my beaded Iris Crystal Drop. It's made from the Peyote stitch and on the other side of it is a Tulip. It's so beautiful when the sun hits it, all the colors of the rainbow shine through the crystal. I keep mine out all year long on a stand but you can hang them from your window, put them in your car on your rear view mirror or just save them for your Christmas tree as a ornament. I didn't post a picture of the other side of this Crystal Drop because I didn't have any Tulip pictures of mine to show you. lol
Now here's my Honeysuckle...when it's in full bloom not only is it a beauty but the fragrance of it is just beautiful!

A couple of years ago my mom gave me a couple of Iris's to plant. The greenery had come up but not a flower at all. Then she passed away last year suddenly. Now this year, for the very first time one of the plants that she had given to me bloomed and has the most gorgeous flowers on it! So, I wanted to share these pictures with all of yous. Oh...thanks mom for the beautiful Iris! I love them!









I hope that you enjoyed all the pictures...thanks so much for stopping in. Oh...if you haven't noticed by now I'm a picture nut! I love pictures and I take so may pictures my sons all make fun of me. lol But now I have yous to share them with. Thanks and have a great day!

Black Eyed Susan...

I thought that for the next couple of days or so that I would share some of the flowers and plants that I have in my yard and also give you a update on my garden. I'm going to start with my Black Eyed Susan's and how they began to grow and what they look like today...



I have them in three different areas of my yard. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful! They're easy to no care what so ever and come back every year. When I cut them to place in a vase they seem to last any where from one week to about 10 days. They grow some where between 2-3 feet high and they love, love, love sunshine!
