The Iris are in Bloom

October Garden
My friend’s garden Sunday October 5th. Eileen has the most gorgeous flowers. The dahlias are huge. Roses are still blooming. So many vibrant colors to capture Sunday morning. Here are just a few.

Three Types of Lilies
My garden in Pittsburgh -Perhaps the perennial Pale Pink is a Stargazer but I know the yellow ones are Stella d’Oro Daylily
and the Orange Daylily in Columbus Ohio.






Not everyone likes the fragrance of a lily I read.

When I was going around my yard (after having been away for more than a week) I photographed all the flowers,
Was I surprised when I saw a baby deer, hidden in the bushes at the corner of my house. I learned that the mothers leave them and then return to get them. Steve saw a big deer in the backyard yesterday. I hope the little fawn got reunited with its mom.
There are still the purple ones to come
The iris were just starting to bloom



The Hellebores are in Bloom

Photographed in different lights.
The same plant.
Hellebores are also named Lenten Roses




Pansies Say Spring
Downtown Pittsburgh. There are barrels along the sidewalk, filled with daffodils and pansies. Pansies. They don’t seem to mind the chilly temps this evening. I love the velvet petal faces.
