LOL, Mary Ann! I agree, you do.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

I have already been eyeing Cookie Monster too, along with Velvet Elvis.... and a few others not shown in the group above. Heavens, I may need to start building more beds now!

That would be a wise choice Leslie, since the inevitable will happen! Then you will be all prepared!

Don is working on the shades of blue fall spots. Blue Hues is a terrific grower.

Not only are the photos a great incentive to build beds, but lots of Summer "box" sharing goes around which can really increase ones need for more iris beds.

I have Flag Red on my list from their 2014 introductions. Think it will go well in the Story Circle.

Oh Greg! Don't I know it. Box sharing increased my garden bed count by two last year!

I think of boxes this way........

They are Christmas boxes in July!

My issue is that I got "multiple" boxes from the same enabler! Don't know how I can do that this/next year without falling into the DEEP end!

Hmmmm....well if you ever find you have more than you can manage you can just forward them along to Marilyn's home for wayward irises!

I was not complaining mind you, but I got 3 boxes from our resident cheese head! The last box had a special present for my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, she passed away in November. The iris was:
