Flowers At Your Feet – 2026

“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in–what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

I would be remiss if I didn’t post an annual photo of the Bearded Iris in bloom and mention again that they were a favorite of my late mother.

I don’t know if it’s the early-spring weather or the severe drought conditions they say we are in, but the Gerbera Daisies have gone wild so far this year. The water drops are from me hooking up the nearby water hose as spring arrives.

This Bridalwreath Spirea bush is a leftover from a previous owner, and we keep trimming it back, which seems to be exactly what it needs, as it keeps blooming each spring.
