COLLAGE OF MEMORIES

The Dancer [ sometimes she is called Gold Digger ] Peach Fluff Party Gal - All named by this gardener since I only know they are Heritage Iris, but if one goes to 5 different places in search of a name, one gets 5 different names ! So, they have been named as I see them and as they make me feel. 3 PiP

From the delicate pastel orange of Peach Fluff Iris - To the bold Formosa Azalea in and out of shadows - And the Dauntless Iris - To A Carolina Sky Of Blue - Canvas for a Mock Orange - Colorful and Aromatic Yard 3 PiP across the top

Got there in plenty of time - Just in case it was crowded - Fewer people this time than the 1st shot-time - But all flowed smoothly - Glad it is done, but everyone was so courteous - But, most folks around here are that way - Made this 'sticker' thing after some of my Florida friends "we didn't get them" - Sent to them - And sharing with my Friends here - Understand we may have different opinions on this - But, being happy is something I had to SHARE ~ By the way - had no reactions other than a sore arm [ not as sore as a Tetanus shot, though ]

.. leaves are starting to replace the white bracts .. so I'll enjoy now !
