Sharing Some Garden Pretties

Do you know what these are? 


Well, they are all that's left of my beautiful bearded irises this year. 
If only their beautiful flowers would stick around a bit longer, but it always gives me something to look forward to each spring. 


Other things around my garden...

Agave plant
(am I the only one that thinks of tequila when I see this plant?) 




These bulbs are Star Gazer Lilies.
I had this flower in my wedding bouquet so I'm really excited to see if I can get this to grow before it gets too hot here. 


I can't believe I even found this at our nursery here in Las Vegas, it's Rhubarb!
I only planted 2 bulbs, but as you can see it's really doing well so far. 










So, what's growing in your garden?  
Do any of you have experience growing rhubarb?  I would be interested in any tips you have to offer.  

...looking forward to the weekend!

We were out of town last week and when I got back I was shocked how many things had burst into bloom. I love spring!

Hi Becca,
Yes I have big Rhubarb plants in the garten- don`t do much ,as they are very eaysy to grow here. Only when the they are starting to be fat, we cut the stalk, so there will start coming new, on the same plant-they can give stalks twice a summer.
Enjoy-Dorthe

Becca, the beautiful photo's of your garden made me feel like I was there... The little droplets of water on the leaves, the tiny chinks in the pottery and the fuzzy throat of the iris. Lovely. (I'm sorry, I don't know anything about rhubarb.)

Oh Becca send some heat this way please!! It's raining and damp today but the tree frogs are singing away!
Rhubarb is not my favourite but my mom always grew it and did nothing to make it grow. This grows like a weed back home. It's not uncommon to see it take over and grow anywhere. Seems to be a hardy plant.
Great photos!!

No experience with rhubarb,only eating it in pies and crisps and I love it. We have tomatoes in our garden but it is not hot enough for them so they are just sitting there. I love the photo of the dried up Iris it was beautiful.

Such wonderful garden shots, Becca! Thanks so much for sharing as I still can't plant flowers on my balcony as it is still too cold.

Gorgeous photos! I have nothing growing OUTSIDE yet. I have lots of seedlings started but it's just been too cold to plant anything.

So many pretty things growing and happening in your garden Becca! Mine is still pretty brown with not too much happening. Though I seem to have lots and lots of little round rabbit 'droppings'. ;)

Happy Saturday friend!

Rhubarb goes really fast. and is wonderful with strawberries in a strawberry/rhubarb pie.
