Late last summer Tomoko gave me these irises. I can't believe how they've multiplied! Well the ones on the right bloomed first and they are sort of brown? I was really disappointed and assumed the Ph of the soil was wrong and all that. Well then the ones on the left opened and they are beautiful and truly purple.
These are chives!!! I noticed they were getting these little bulbs on the tips and of course I thought they must be infected with some bug or something. I was snipping them off...Dummy. I got behind on the snipping for a few days and to my amazement, the bulb opened up to reveal the most stunning little lavender blossom!
Behold! My lone Gardenia. I planted these last summer and they never bloomed??? They barely survived the winter, but started looking really hearty this Spring. It finally occured to me to take a really close look and I realized the snails and slugs were eating the buds! Dummy. So, unfortunately, I had to terminate the cute little slow-pokes with Sluggo and tadaaa. This is the only one so far, but I think we will have a very fragrant entry way soon!!!

Go drop off some tadaa in our front landscaping too. During the rainy season, we must have had like 100 snails on our driveway.
