Walking Amongst Friends


Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
~Walt Whitman

How I have longed to walk amongst you, my flowered friends,
And at last you have arrived, my heart dances with glee.
The winter was far too long, spring petals hesitant to unfurl,
But once again I can walk amongst you, in pleasant company.

Some miniature irises from my beds....

I love the chartreuse and violet... such contrast

Unfurling hostas

Dancing narcissus

I like to think of these ladies with their red and yellow petticoats drawing the bees to pollen... bull's eye.....

Nodding hello, "How do you do?"

What garden would be complete without a feline friend to lay in wait for visiting hummer's?
(He thinks he can, he thinks he can.....but actually he can't --keeping fingers crossed)

I would be much obliged if anyone could remind me of the name of this flowered friend.....
Thanks!

Beautiful pics! I especially love the "nodding hello" one. My husband is thinking about the unnamed flower. He's a botanist, and it's driving him crazy. ;-)

Hello Wendy,
The unnamed flower is a "girofée" in french and in english it is called : Aegan wallflowers or English wallflowers.
Hope this helps
