I took the afternoon off of gardening to visit Napa Iris Gardens today, an hrs drive from me.

It was their last weekend open so I didn't want to miss it another year. It was past peak but there was still plenty of blooms to see, I took 608 photos (including tags) and wanted to share a few.
I talked to the owner, John Painter, and told him about ATP, the forums here and about the database and he asked that I send him the link when I have this thread going so hopefully he will stop in!
