Name: Niki Bend, Oregon (Zone 6a) Flowers are food for the soul.
My iris are blooming and my weeding is behind. I haven't been good at balancing my time with work. I don't plan on returning for the iris this year. Maybe Adelman's peony garden in Salem. I decided to cut my hours a little for life's other pleasures(gardening). Iris blooming in my bed(from www.beardedirisflowers.com).
