Marsha's Garden Blog: I Heart Macro Garden Pictures

Welcome To My Garden Blog…

Working in the garden, looking and admiring nature, watching how organisms interact all feed my inner being. Getting my hands into the soil connects me with the earth.

This is probably why I am so drawn to work in clay (porcelain and other earth clays).

Here in my Mid-Atlantic, US garden, which is considered Hardiness Zone 7A by the USDA, Spring is here and will soon be coming to a close.

I have cleared most of the Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans that had Aster yellows and am keeping a close eye for other plants showing symptoms this year.

I am delighted to say that I am again, falling in love with my garden. 2011 growing season stuck a fork right through my heart, and I am happy it is now in the past and nature is taking her turn at moving things forward into the 2012 growing season...

I really like the lily. I think that must be what I have too...cousin gave it to me and I have never known what it is. It looks like Iris leaves and has wonderful orange speckled flowers. You have to love fresh garden tomatoes!

Thanks everyone! That first shot of the "Candy Lily" - which was reclassified into the iris family in the last couple of years - was taken with my iPhone Hipstamatic app. I'm simply addicted to using it with an extra hand lens to get up close photos…

I appreciate all the feedback!
