    These are new to me, bought them last fall and the six plants are just covered with buds. These are the first to bloom.

    And now the flood of childhood memories comes back yet another spring when I can start inhaling deeply of the 'popsicle' fragrance of my favorite Iris's

    The blooms I most look forward to every year.

    Fabulous lilies, they look kind of laquered. The iris is really something with that ruffled edge.

    Two of my favourites Toni. The lilies are absolutely gorgeous and I love the colour of your iris.
