It's a really cute dark one Ken. You are on the way. We need to fix that shortage of little ones though! I think I can help!

I am always open on swap, trade or whatever. Got the iris bug a couple years ago, but it has been mostly tall ones so far.

First one to open...Flavescens

Soon to come...This bed is growing a couple feet wider this year as the lilies have gotten bigger and iris's need to be divided... and some new ones are coming.

I am fraught with anticipation.

Thought I would share these pics. I was out riding my bike yesterday and the buffalo were up by the fence at Oleson's buffalo farm. What an awesome animal.

These were blooming out in a meadow. I am guessing they are a type of Phlox? Not the greatest pic.

Love the rocks you have used as a border in your bed!!! Hubby and I once several years ago took a couple of hours driving down dirt roads in the Hale, Mi area looking for boulders. We had a whole trunk load by the time we were finished looking.

I live only a few miles from where the white buffalo was born a couple years back, if anyone heard that news back then. It was quite the event around here.

Oh yes Tom, it was big news here as we have a couple native american tribes that are nearby.

Mary Ann... yes they are losing there winter coat.

Cynthia, every time I go out to the woods I end up picking up them rocks with my pickemup truck! Rolling on the floor laughing They do may a nice border. My friends girlfriend grew up in Hale, MI. She is a Schulte, if you know the last name.
