Flowers

I have found out what the name of my pretty flowering bush is. Loropetalum
Arching branches of fuchsia-pink flowers are a treat in early spring, attractive ruby-red changing to lustrous purple-red to green leaves are an asset all season on this compact 3-6' evergreen shrub.



this is its leaves before the blooms
On to my irises that are now blooming....

love this one the color looks to be dark blue and white here...

 
but here just a few days ago just after it had rained
and the sun was shining it was this color
wow what a different. I have one more I had it posted earlyer but I 'll show it again
its two tone purple
well thats all folks. Hope you are having a good week
God Bless Trish

I am envious of your gorgeous iris!!! My Mother always had over a dozen different colors but now only has white and yellow.
Your garden is so pretty!

Those are just beautiful! I am a little jealous - every time I plant flowers it seems to snow the next day and I have to start all over!! I love flowers, they make me smile...

I don't know what a Loropetalum is - but I do know you have a purple thumb, or I mean green thumb!
