If you have a south-facing area near your home you can probably grow zone 6 plants. My Mom used to have Moss Rose come back from seed next to the house every year.

- Hi Jule,
Thank you for the wonderful comments. I have enjoyed gardening for a long time but only started outside about 4 years ago. I always had inside plants and took note that I seem to have that :green thumb". My daughter took the pictures with her digital camera and it helps with the apeearance if it has just rained.(smile).

- Hi Julie, So nice to hear from you! I love sharing my love for gardening. Manitou Beach is at Devils Lake which is around 60 miles sw of you I think. I am in the Irish Hills, near Michigan Int'l Speedway, if you're into nascar. God's country, I call it!
The flower is an orchid, one of my many houseplants, my only orchid, tho they are really easy to grow.
I'll add photos soon as I figure it out and have the extra moments!
Hope to chat with you again on the index! Pam

Kay Neeley said… - Hi Julie. I saw your pictures and noticed that you love irises too. I love all the perennials, but I have to admit that the irises are my favorites! I think it's because there are literally thousands of varieties. And when a new one blooms i am always in awe of God's creativity. It's raining here right now, so there will be no gardening today. I hope to see you again on index and I hope you have abundant blooms in your garden! Kay
