Congrats on the new filly, Tom.
I love horses! I always wanted to have my own growing up,but had to settle on summer camps and riding there.My cousin had her own horse, and I was SO jealous.
I am looking forward to all your iris pictures,now that my season is at an end.
I hope you can find the time to post your iris pictures .

Nice filly, lovely flowers, glad that you have a garden companion!

Something had been blooming very nicely here, but I only got I bad pic, and I placed the pot so where I can't read the label now D'Oh! .... I believe that it is also PATH TO HEAVEN, though (from what I can tell from the pic, and the other possibility). It put on a good show, and will probably need dividing this year. D'Oh!
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom

Busy around here, new foal, blooms coming on like crazy and a Birthday party to attend. Well here's some of the blooms so far. I don't have time to do all of them now. More later.

I knew when I ordered "Fields Of Gold" that I'd like it, but it exceeds my expectations. Wow, I love it.

The blooms are coming so fast now I can hardly keep up taking pictures, much less posting them. Here's a couple until I can get back to posting.

That's what I was afraid of. I went mad the moment I saw the intro. I avoided Mid-America this year because I knew I would finally have to buy it, and I was being good and buying iris that Brad recommended (of course they are beautiful iris by my deity Keith Keppel) but they were not Flirty Tease. I sound like a nut job, right?

Very high winds here last night. Not sure what kind of mess I'll find out there this morning. More high winds expected today, so picture taking is not going to happen today. Glare

There are way to many opening each day now for me to get pictures of everything and post them, but here are a few for now.


I got this as a door prize from my iris club. I like it a lot.

This one was a bonus. The bloom is very compact. I like it too.
