Well, I'm down to my last iris pictures from my garden for spring 2012. The weather wasn't nearly as cooperative as it could have been, which I know is probably true for just about all of us, but I still had some beauties. A lot of buds dried up, though, during the last heat wave while we were gone, and I sure wish I could have seen those blooms...
