Thanks to many of you here and elsewhere, I have so many lovely irises.

, all! Whether you sent one or 20, you've been more than generous. So let's start the show!

First up was Country Dance on April 18th. Such a cute little flower and the beard caught my eye.

A couple of days ago, I. germanica opened. This increases rapidly. Anyone travelling in the neighborhood is welcome to come get some.

Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

Iris are starting in Utah. We had a Utah Iris Society meeting last night with an informal show. I didn't count but think there were about 60 specimens, mostly SDBs and IBs. Great to see the iris and especially the people.

Yesterday, Snow Maiden opened. This is such a delicate little bloom.

I will try to thank each person who these came from but I can't guarantee I'll remember.

So excited to see your blooms starting, Celia.

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?

At the meeting last night, I took second place with Kaching which was given to me by Paul2032. Thanks Paul. At that Mini show we get cash for top three, so I have $10 toward my next order.
