Flowers in my Studio Yard

Ever heard of a studio yard? In my case, it is the yard area around my studio, a shabby little shed on the property. I suppose the proper and popular term is “garden”, but that feels wrong to me. The place is only partially planted, definitely not professionally landscaped; I’m not growing tomatoes and zucchini around the studio, and I don’t “putter about”. It is a haphazard yard, and sometimes it has flowers in it.

The iris are little things, a dwarf variety, blooming 3 at a time in an otherwise bare pot. They mostly just look good in photos. This is because I don’t know what I am doing, other than occasionally succumbing to impulse buys at the grocery store. “Hey look, bulbs, I wonder if there are any iris. . . look, here are some iris, must be fate that I buy them”.

  1. Jana, they look great to me, a taste of spring, makes me feel good to be alive!!!

    • Janet, springtime is The Best. I hope it is good for you in Georgia!

  2. I love your landscape. Very natural and comfortable looking.

    • Heh-heh, Nancy, “natural” could be a euphemism for “unkempt”, sort of like “cozy” means “too small” in real estate lingo.

  3. Love it! And love your little “haphazard” yard :-)!! Leah

    • Thank you, Leah! Right now it is in bloom, a little soon for the First Saturday. Wish I knew how to make daffodils last.
