Decided to give Thelma her own thread and update as new visits occur.
About 20 minutes away, lives this wonderful lady, and the garden and business she created, from some extra land on the family farm.
It is called "Mom's Out of Control Hobby".
At 90- ish, Thelma still can be seen driving her golf cart through the Iris fields, looking for weeds to eradicate.
With much enthusiasm, Thelma says she enjoys weeding her fields daily, and being outside with the Iris, and the people who come to appreciate them.
Each Spring we visit, a few times really, watching the swaths of color change, and giving in to buying a few more.
From the street, it is an eyecatching sight, that never fails to take your breath away. :smily:
Here is an article about her:
