I tried to find a picture of a lady with leaves for arms but it was coming up all tattoos. Not very helpful but it did give me ideas for a new tat for me. Lol

In spite of the cold, I have some of my early tulips open today. These start out yellow, and then turn orange.

I have rippled foliage, too. Well...the IRIS do, not me personally. Rolling on the floor laughing

My foilage gets a bit rippled when I sit down! Hilarious! Hilarious!

Tom - I like the idea of tulips that change color. Now if I could grow tulips worth a darn (and I grew up close to Holland, MI - home of the tulip festival! I am their tulip failure....)

I think those Cheesehead tags should be in Packer colors!

Impressive, extensive, crazy, and really really well organized. Even the pots are all lined up! Wow.

The pots on the patio are the ones for sale. The long line is the 11 "Again & Again" pots! Most of what you see in the picture are the re-blooming pots. The pots out in the yard are the "nursery" pots which I need to go through and cull out the underperformers if they were intended for sale.

One of the "Cheesehead" sections is just below the picture taking location. From the patio and off to the right, this whole section is a Wisconsin Cheesehead section (box two I think-this location has "Special Kay" which was intended for my mother-in-law). The others are more mixed. The raised bed closest to the picture has two sections. Section one starts closest to the picture and goes to the water bottle(about half way). These are the rhizomes I got from the local Iris club member that moved to Florida. The line clump at the water bottle is Sterling Innerst's "Marris". The rest of the bed is 80% Brad contributions.

Brad has been very good to you then! Since you keep everything so neat and organized, I am surprised your wife kicked the irises out of the front yard.

Front yard is not good place for special plants, people especially kids pick them or knock them over. It doesn't matter with our daffodils as they are a mixed batch.

Or maybe it wasn't as neat and organized in front? Smiling
