Jain your flowers and pictures are awesome!. If I lived there I would get nothing done. I would be taking pictures all day long. And gardening when I wasn't doing that. You have a botanic garden.

There aren't enough words to express how lovely and cute! Even the animal kingdom is in paradise there, Jain. Happy, beautiful pictures!

Jain, your garden is so beautiful, I'm in awe! I know that you and Scott put in many long hours, but it rivals any public gardens that I've visited. Your reward is the beauty that you've grown with your own sweat equity!
That Cabaret Girl iris is magnificent!

Jain, I just keep looking at this thread... I love looking at the pictures over and over... nice to "meet" Tucker. And I love the pictures of the deer even though I know they can be a nuisance.

Thanks for taking the time to share the beauty of Jain's World.

Bella.. what is that pale pink one?

Even bees have a great long life there.. Oregon too:)

The only bug I see..are ladybugs right now..probably because they lived indoors!

Over and over again..

A..you and me both would have our cameras out..there are more at Jain's than when you visited here and we toured Les Jardins Botaniques~

Jain..that little face is the icing on le cake:)

Jain, I just love coming to see if you have added more photos of your beautiful gardens. I am so in AWE...and thankful that you share the beauty of them here with us. I will never tire of all your vistas and blooms and will miss them when you go to Italy. Of course, then you will have Italy to share with us too!

All so very pretty Jain. I always get this sudden urge to buy irises when it comes this time of year and you start posting your pics. All I seem to have are blues and purples. I need pinks..corals...yellows..etc. And more blues and purples!!!! hehe Although spring has started here our weather has kind of put things in a holding pattern for a while. We are way below avg for temps this year. 26 last night!

Me too..however the choices are so limited..I go to nurseries..and I want to cry out and say : "You should see Jain's!!!!

Your roses and clems are spectac too..Are you able to gather bouquets?

If you get rain..do your Iris fall? I have to stake mine ..some of them...not all..


I just love them all..

Same here, thanks to your photos! :)

I'm trying to add some more to my garden Jain, but you've made the choice so difficult with your VAST collection. I see too many favorites that I would love to have.
Enjoying them through your photos is next best.
Thank you for doing so.

Magnificent!

i am getting that urge to buy big time too! i usually wait until july, but i spread out 5 orders this week, i am just tweaking them as things bloom and then i will order right before we leave. i sure hate to miss my iris while gone, only downside of traveling this spring...

Suzyqt1968 wrote on Thursday, April 03, 2008 - 10:38 pm:

26 last night!

sounds delightful to me, the cooler it is the happier i am! todays morning walk was 48 and windy, i was in WET shorts right from the washing machine and a t shirt, everyone at the lake was hooded, bundled and in jeans...

yes, me from obesity and stairs...

Monique wrote on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 07:33 am:

our springs are very iffy with rain, but with clay soil they are anchored upright quite well! super wind storms can knock a few here and there... thats when i make bouquets~

thanks again everyone for chatting with me as i bombard you with daily iris pics...

Jain ..I just had a thought..that little angel would(either one) look so cute if I could add it to the invite I made for M:)..If I can... do I have your permission? To use that photo in tiny somewhere?


I see the pavers held up beautifully!

Just looking at your urns ..on the bases.. That would be a swhole summer project here!
Could your babies have been placed more perfectly?


Look how dear!!!

Sorry, I should have explained a bit more, I moved all of them a year ago to a new bed and it seems to be more of a wet area than the original bed. I'm just hoping they will all thrive there. The elk do leave them alone so I should add to the collection. I'll watch for a link to your iris sales if you do them this year.
