I wish we could have gone to Doug's garden too.. But I got home feeling very satisfied after a day with good company and beautiful Iris everywhere. Rick and Roger were engaging hosts, and made sure to spend a little time with all their guests (and there was a steady stream).
I have to sift through all my pictures, but here are a few..
'American Original'
'Spiral Galaxy'
'Carousel of Dreams'
'Blue Rising'
Some of the varieties really were stunning en masse.. Here's 'Arctic Burst'
There were seedlings to lust after...
We saw lots of great beards.. Sadly this one has a tendency to bloom out..
a couple of happy iris nuts. The nut on the left did a great job coordinating and putting this all together (thank-you Marilyn!!)... and the one on the right kept me entertained for 5 hours in the car (that's Craig, my down-the-road neighbor)
