Grandkid's Special Gardens

Daddy's tulips are deep red and grandma's are the pink frill.


This is Ingrid's Iris Island with her Ibis, her Italian Cypress, and, in the back left, is an Itea tree which will flower soon.  Behind the Ibis is a small Eucalyptus bush.

Anthony's Astor Avenue with his Apple tree in bloom.

An Animal (frog) among his Astors.

Maggie's Maple Muse with her Music (windchimes) and Mums starting to come up.

 Michael's Michaelmas Meadow with his Myrtle tree which has not leafed out yet, and Shasta Daisies.  I haven't gotten a creature for his garden yet - any suggestions?
