Well -- it's all winding down. This is the saddest time of the year. Still some blooms in the garden, including one that just started yesterday.

Breakers:
The bloom stalk on this Iris is a whopping 46" tall!!! It kept growing.....and growing.....and growing....
And would ya look at all the diamond dusting!!

Rustler's last bloom is missing something -- actually, a couple of somethings:


Brazilian Art is wrapping up the season:


Whispering Spirit:


Darcy's Choice was looking pretty this year -- thanks Lori!!!


Peppermint Cream's blooms are a little soft -- but there's still a couple of buds left:


Haute Les Voiles:


Fringe of Gold getting ready to close up:


Poem of Ecstasy:


Slipping Away (appropriately named):


Goodbye *Blue Reflection* -- see you next spring:


French Riviera has been a stand-out this year:


Ring Around Rosie:


Calamity Carol (this is a beautiful iris):


Last clump of the season:


And a surprise appearance -- my NOID Yellow/White -- where I didn't know it was planted!!


First summer flower this year -- an unusual Gerbera Daisy -- love the feathery petals:

A very nice "closing act", MaryAnn !

It comes all too soon. But now you can plan for all the new ones!

Oh Tom - some of us, who may have ordered a few, are already making plans (and beds) for the new ones...

Beautiful finale Mary Ann. Love your pic of Whispering Spirit!

Nice ending, Mary Ann. I'll be just getting started here in a few days with the TB's. I think it is going to go fast... almost all of them are getting bloom stalks... quickly.

Nice ending Mary Ann! Love the Gerbera Daisy, I've never had any luck in growing those. Nor have I ever seen one that looks like that one.

Things are almost over here for me too. However, part of one bed thinks it's time to start things off. Gismo The Gremlin is blooming and I have stalks coming up on Head Games and American Maid.

I also have a few rebloomers that bloomed in March that are sending up some new stalks.

Nothing wrong with blooms that want to keep on coming Rob!
