Take a gander at our Variegated Iris! It's first thing in the morning so the flowers are not opened all the way; you can see they're still folded over. Notice the dew glistening on them...
Variegated varieties of flowers peak my interest. Not only is a beautiful flower produced on these plants, but the interest of the plant itself, is held throughout the entire growing season. The plant's white or yellow edges cause a different look than the all-green variety, as well as having the capability of brightening up an area without even being in bloom. These plants are just as hardy as their green cousins, so no other care is needed to grow them.
Other variegated flowers and shrubs you'll find in our yard - Sedum, variegated Dogwood shrub and of course a variety of variegated Hostas.
