Paul, thank you SO much for posting these photos! I have enjoyed every one of them.

Thanks everyone.....Summer Shadow is a Keith Keppel iris.

Figures! Thanks!!

I'm gonna be so sad when your season is over I've loved being able to come here and see all the beautiful irises. Thanks for sharing Paul.

My Tuscan Summer is not quite ready to bloom yet.

Great pictures Paul! ~Jan

Thanks everyone. I spent a couple of hours today cleaning up an early bed....removed spent bloom stalks, dug and discarded some seedlings that I had seen a second year, and redid some plants markers. There is a certain satisfaction in a well groomed bed.

There sure is. I can't wait to get there.............................

Thanks again for all the beauty you have shared with us.

It was my pleasure an became a morning routine. Yesterday I took pictures of my Hosta and am posting them. Maybe now I will spend a little less time at the computer and a little more time tending the garden.

Where are you posting the hosta? One of your older photographs of hosta is my current desktop.

How cool is that?

If you are interested go the Hosta Forum here on ATP and look at the thread "A morning walk through my Hosta Garden". In a week or two my roses will be in their full glory. I do love my garden!!!!!
