Well we had a warm spell then it cool down again. So the air conditioner got a test run I guess. Every day we have had more color show in our iris beds. Our backyard is really the most colorful. For some reason we have to many purple with various colors of standard showing up. Discover we have three spots of an iris that is called Champagne Elegant. This is a pretty white and brown one. Back along our fence is one called Chocolate Mouse which is a pretty light brown iris. My hubby had to take me out to an old farm place and show me an antique iris that was blooming. Of course it will be introduce into my old fashion garden later. I know who owns the place and will get permission to get a small start. I have been looking for the old standard Wine and Roses but that is like a needle in a haystack. I have found only one spot that sells it and he does not have enough to sell. I did notice that the crops are starting to show up. Will have to really grow for it to be as high as elephant eye on the fourth of July.

Great job!!! Pretty flowers, great notes. Remind me next year to come and see your Iris at their peak!
As for that corn, give it some sun and you'll be able to watch it grow!!!
