The rain finally stopped. We went from air conditioning to turning the heat back on this week. Poor garden doesn't know what's up. Now the weeds are making a comeback!

Today a few new and a couple of old favorites...

Fantastic collection. I have been done for the last day or two. Only had one iris bloom yesterday (Double Ringer) but it bloomed earlier elsewhere in the garden. That should be it for me on the border!

Great pictures Pam. You must be getting close to peak too. I'm at peak here, the early ones are starting to fade.

My Toronto did not bloom this year but was just planted last year. Hoping for next spring. Your irises are beautiful. I love the last two and the kitty, of course.

Just a fee stragglers left blooming in the garden. With the horse show season in full swing, I am having a difficult time finding time to get everything done. Soooooo, here are a few more shots of new this year for me blooms...

Pardon the stake - the wind and rain storms were tough on iris here.
