The hillside went crazy over the last few days. It has been hard to keep up with the general work, let alone get pictures. Here are a few garden shots. Will get back to individual iris soon!

Taken with my phone from the roof of my truck as I hauled a horse out yesterday. (Who says old ladies can't multi-task...or climb!)

Thank You!

The garden helpers are really not much help. They are under orders to "STAY OUT!!" of my garden especially the Lab who likes to bring me big sticks!

I agree with Mary Ann about Lace Jabot, and I like the beard on Codicil, it looks so good with that blue iris.

No problem Polly! When I am not in the garden or shoveling horse poo, I spend as much time as possible snorkeling. I have as much fun photographing underwater creatures as I do Iris. There are several Pams on another forum that I belong to for travel - so that group dubbed me Snorky. I thought that sounded a little too much like Snarky ( which I will admit to being on occasion Smiling ) so I just shortened it a little!
