I can't wait to see the lavender....I have always admired that plant and I am coming to you with advice on that one! Your blooms are outstanding as usual and your front garden looks fantastic!

I am surprised that taking the big bush out from the front yard didn't leave a big open space in your lawn, or did the grass fill in already? The fuchsias are really pretty. Your lavender is going to look so nice and it is so so fragrant. I am semi obsessed with it. I have a fantasy of ripping out my front lawn and planting rows of lavender and it would be so beautiful. But I am certain my husband would flip out so that is why I call it a fantasy.

I am always looking for garden tips and ways to be inspired, I think I am going to like it here. :) You really do have a beautiful front garden, I think the changes you have made look fantastic. I have never seen a black iris. I bet you cannot wait for it to open, it will look stunning. And I also never knew lupins could change colour, I've never had any in my garden before but I've always liked them. See how much I have learnt coming here! Looking forward to reading more, have a great week! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840730429189922567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-61518554167711606512014-06-16T12:58:36.018-04:002014-06-16T12:58:36.018-04:00Oh wow you have been working hard Wendy, the front...Oh wow you have been working hard Wendy, the front of your house looks lovely and more open now the bushes have gone.

Sadly the mister also had to cut out our gorgeous Coral Bark maple as it died from the cold as well. Fuschias take me back to my grandmother's garden -- camellia, fuschia, and the most amazing roses garden ever.

The black iris looks beautiful, your Mum would be proud! It has been so lovely to have a tour around your garden, I just wish that I could come for a visit now! I really like your rock edging for the borders, I might just borrow that I idea as I need something to keep the bark mulch in that we use - ours is more finely shredded than yours is - as the birds tend to fling it around a bit! I hope that you have had a fun weekend gardening. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-11198185314545632522014-06-16T03:49:48.370-04:002014-06-16T03:49:48.370-04:00You have done a great job to make your garden look...You have done a great job to make your garden look very beautiful.
