I would be honored to see photos if you have time to post them afterward.

Thank you Debra, yes I will post some photos after the ceremony.

Oh good -- I was thinking the same thing, Debra!!

Marvin Outstanding pictures!!! I have enjoyed looking at all of them it looks like you have had a lot of fun over the years working with these and I hope you saved a few to play with this spring Keep the pictures coming..

Vi congrats on your son's retirement that's a great accomplishment

Thanks Brad, appreciate the kind words.

Green hope. Color really is that bright. Spring is coming.

thanks Debra, I have a foot of snow on the ground and I had forgotten what green plants look like.

In that case, here are three more from today:

Amethyst in Snow Centaurea; Romance Crocus coming up around Oktoberfest Daylily; dunno, but I like the blue flowers.

Debra can you send some of that North to Iowa would love to come outside and find something green growing

working on it, brad.

No new green plants here. sigh

I have a vague memory of green. Seems like it was something I saw a lot of at one time, but I can't seem to remember where. Might have been in my wallet before the iris addiction!

a few more

I want one of each of these! I hope you didn't discard these! They are really nice.

Great closeup of an interesting beard.

#4 and #5 are awesome!!!

The crocus, harbingers of spring

This today along a walkway. There are more blooming here and there in the garden and the yellows are up and will be open tomorrow.

Marvin, if I had an iris garden filled with only the iris you have posted pictures of, 'seedlings', I would have the most beautiful iris garden ever. I love both ruffled and tailored iris and I have not seen one of your photos that I would not want and some that are unforgettable. Indeed, they are more lovely than many that I have bought. Thank you for posting them.

Put me in line right behind Tom!

Great photo, Bonnie.
