It's iris time and almost chicken time

My husband and I took a quick walk around the gardens today (before it got too hot to work) and I counted 11 (I think!) different kinds of iris. I don't know their names. I just go by their color and their smell...mmm! I love iris time. I think it's one of my favorite times in the garden.


Black-purple iris


Maroon and white iris


Purple 'pez' iris


Light blue iris


Two-tone white and blue iris


Maroon with yellow tongue


White iris


Yellow iris


Heirloom peach, yellow and pink iris


Heirloom white and purple



Siberian iris

This is a few of them and it's not counting the ones that haven't bloomed yet. Still waiting on those.

I'm also waiting for our new babies that are supposed to come on Wednesday (15 chicks and 15 guineas). How exciting it will be to see them.
