Wow Pam! I just popped in and saw the pictures you posted of your Iris hill! Absolutely gorgeous! I enjoy my early California bloom, but if I had a property like yours it would be worth the wait!!! All I have is flat sand, it's pretty dry here.

I especially like Austrian Garnets, & Magic Hope. Connections is already on my wish list!

Thanks for sharing Thumbs up !

My son cane home after a week at the beach and said "Mom, your garden exploded!" That about says it!

The combination of hot weather and rain, rain, rain is causing a good bit of rot at the bottom of bib healthy stalks. I'm so glad that I didn't mulch the garden this year - I think it would be a lot worse.

Solid - er colors tonight...

Totally awesome pictures. I so hoped to come see your garden, but this season was so crazy compressed (and I always think I have extra time to visit gardens).
