Iris ‘Peggy Sue’

'Peggy Sue' bearded iris

I bought two specimens of Peggy Sue from White Flower Farms and planted them in the front garden last fall. One is currently in bloom; I’m still waiting for the second.

Not much is currently in bloom in the front garden yet, but the general color scheme is white, pink, and blue, so I thought Peggy Sue would be the perfect addition. She’ll have a pink Heritage rose and some white double peonies behind her in a week or so, which should make a nice vignette.

Peggy Sue is also a reblooming iris, so I’m looking forward to additional blooms come August or September. By then, she’ll be joined by some milkweed, hardy geraniums, Nikko Blue hydrangeas, and Heritage will still be in bloom.

Seriously considering making irises my “thing.”

The place where the red truck is parked is not a legitimate parking spot. The spot right next to where the truck is parked is my usual parking spot, although it’s not my reserved spot or anything. I was sorely tempted to squeeze my car into that spot this morning, but I decided not to lower myself to his level.

Hadouken!

I missed a call from the karate / Krav Maga dojo this week because I didn’t have them in my contacts. I decided to right that this weekend, and shared my sense of humor on Facebook:
