It's not as lush as the back garden but it's neat and we like it. We have tulips and daffodils in the front garden too but obviously they've been and gone. There's lillies and antirrhinums ready for flowering but not quite out yet.
This is dedicated to my dear Dad, who has passed on his love of gardening to me.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD, I LOVE YOU.
and a Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there.

Thats so sad. My Mum died 19 years ago but Dad's doing OK at 83.
Beautiful garden, Akela.... Happy Father's Day to your dad!
Gorgeous garden. If I can steal my son's camera for the day, I may post some photos of the mess in mine!

I bet yours isn't as bad as you're making out! ;)
oops - and to MWM too.....;-)
Akela- Love your slide shows- I should try one but I can barely post still photos on my site. LOL!
The front garden is lovely, The peonies are (oops, WERE, spectacular)When mine are blooming and they call for rain I run right out and snip every last one of my peonies.
The blue and white flowers are columbine and the pinks are dianthus (often called simply "pinks")
Happy Fathers Day to your Dad and MWM too. Thanks for visiting mine today. Happy Sunday.
Bella
Aw thanks honey, I'll tell him.

The slide shows are really easy to do, honest. They have to be for me to do them. Have a go, if you want help you can email me.
Thanks for identifying my flowers, I bought a whole load of plants a couple of years ago and put them in but I'd forgotton what they were all called! :#
Happy Sunday to you too m'dear.
I'm a bad person! I sent a card but hadnt realised really that today is sunday...
So glad I came to get the reminder to call home!!
What a wonderful gift your Dad has given you...the love of gardening... Your front garden looks very smart and full of colour.
