Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

What heavenly colours. Your whole garden looks so lush and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are certainly gorgeous...mine are just about ready to open so can't wait!! I just have a couple of the plants, though, in my front flowerbed but plan on getting lots more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sea of purple:)
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are looking absolutely glorious. Love those iris and forgot to say I think the pink one in the post below is wonderful. What a beautiful soft pink and lilac combination it is. I like the size too.
ReplyDeleteI have some later iris just budding.
What's the purple groundcover? Is it bugleweed?
Thanks, ladies.
ReplyDeleteThis time of the year I have almost nothing but purple.
Yes, Kerri, that is bugleweed (ajuga). I really like ajuga. Even when not in flower, I like the purplish foliage.
