Intermediates at Riverina Iris
We have been adding daylilies to extend the time we have flowers and they flower after the iris.
Daylilies had been added from Bolong, Mountain View in QLD and Rainbow Daylilies in WA
Scattering daylillies amongst the Iris adds to the interest in the display gardens
Bulbs are a wonderful addition - extending the time we have flowers and adding a stunning splash of colour.
Delightful daylilies flowering over Summer
One of our lovely neighbours will have Hippiastrums for sale.
Other interesting blossoms and bulbs - Ranunculus, Jacoben, Dutch iris and Pineapple lilly.
Bulbs and Mumma in Spring
Our back garden if filled with roses and in time beds will be established in-between the iris beds.
Liliums are another of our favourites and we have started growing them in pots

We love our pets Max, Leo our blind Husky and Kitty who follow me around checking my work!!!
Thanks to our beautiful Felicity family - sold in April 2014 we have funded this garden development. (Southern Cross Murray Greys - Australia's own beef breed)
Archways with climbing roses create structure and framing for the garden.
Beds in full bloom in October
