Pam - do you dive as well? I just love diving and wish I had taken an underwater camera to several places. Nice job with the fish! Thumbs up

Pam, don't know what the first fish is but the second photo looks like a Moray Eel, I use to see these when I lived in Bermuda many years ago.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the nice comments.

Leslie Nope, not a diver...yet! Giving it some serious consideration though.

Vi The first is a large Trunk fish. They are shaped like a steam iron. The second is a small golden moray eel. Not scary like their big brothers.

Beautiful pictures. Skating Party is still a good white. My Edith Wolford never looked that nice. If it had I would still be growing it. It was fun to see Gypsy Woman which I really liked when I grew it. Thanks for sharing. Thank You!

The Gypsy Romance clump is outstanding, as are all your pictures.

Your avatar name has been intriguing me for a long time, so I just gave in and asked, and thanks for being kind enough to answer!

I was really happy with the mass bloom in that patch of Gypsy Romance 'cause two years ago I had a very bad infestation of borers in it. I had to dig the entire clump out, clean, treat and replant the whole thing. It rebounded nicely!

As promised some newer stuff...

I'm so glad I ordered Coal Seams. The more I see it the better I like it. I also like Murder Mystery, and of course Haunted Heart is so nice. Didn't see mine again this year, but should next season. The guard dog is extra cute!

Connection and Haunted Heart really are different. Like them!!!!

By the way, what causes the stalks to fall over with only one bud in bloom. I had to stake my very first iris bloom.
