Year three of Flowers. 

Some crocus the previous owners must have planted since I did not!

Iris Reticulata, I planted these little gems. 

After they've flowered.

Hyacinths planted around my birch trees where I made two more flower beds the year before but did not really take any pictures of the process. 

Spring bulbs. This year this bed will be absolutely bursting with blooms.

We added a new bed to the left hand side of this one. I did not have anything planted in it at this time. 

Thanks for the help Boris, I really needed my checkered lilies crushed.

Daffodils in the fairly new bed. 

My hollyhocks I planted from seed with dwarf sunflowers and petunias.

I planted a lot of impatiens that year. They do extremely well in shade areas. I found they were hard to remove and did not plant them again, even though they were quite lovely. I planted annuals in this bed until I could decide on perennials for these spots. 

The birch tree beds and my favourite corner of the yard.

Pansies.

Take your time, have some patience and grow.
