But it is fast approaching, Lucy. I had 20 more irises bloom today. All SDB's and two MDB's. I had a garden tour after the rain stopped and a photographer here for several hours this evening.... until he lost the light (I really think it was the mosquitoes). I took photos this morning in the rain but they turned out so blurry that I will retake and post them tomorrow. This has been a great fun day. I cant wait to see your iris photos Leslie. yippee!!!!!
