Wonderful photos, Carl -- thank you so much for sharing them.
And there -- in photo #3 of the MidAmerica gardens -- is my friend Dennis Dreyer! Dennis is probably the person most responsible for my Iris addiction -- by sharing bags and bags of rhizomes with me some years ago. He is on the BOD for the Tall Bearded Iris Society -- and lives here in Western Kentucky. Very generous with his time and knowledge and Irises!
