working for close to 10 yrs. I am getting so I have difficulty doing the physical up & down, although I have my trusty kneeler. Started to work about 4 pm yesterday & the rains came which messes up the flower. the difficulty is that all the seedlings are related to each other so not able to correct problems. Trying to get red back in a seedling plus the fact that it has short stems. I am not like a person with an entire garden full of plants like a professional.

very useful. When you get tired of working, just turn it over & have a seat..if land slopes downhill, get off & use the ground as a base, then follow earlier directions. I tip my hat to you.

This clump is in a "bad" location for afternoon photography and I have not been home when the Sun comes up to get a good shot. Glare

Oh my has this thread increased my wish list of Irises lol. Drooling Thank you all for sharing your photos.

Sue, the pictures of your garden are amazing! Sebastopol is a great area, I visit the Sonoma Horticultural Nursery every couple of years or so. (My other addiction is rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias)
