Schreiner's Iris Gardens

A women's group I belong to will be visiting here on Wednesday. They have some of the most wonderful display gardens. You just think you are in a piece of heaven. Wish you could join us.

Me too. Wouldn't it be great? I'll be thinking of you. And take pictures to share of all the fun.

That is one place I want to vist when my husband retires.
It must be like a modern Eden. I love visting Gardens when we travel.

Not only are the irises spectacular but all the various companion plants just leave you drooling. The delphiniums and lupines are just to die for. They have peonies, clematis, unusual trees like the fringe tree. And to top it all off they have a wonderful variety in their plant sales.

Lenjo, I look forward to seeing your pictures. I stopped in there last summer when I was in Oregon, but it was too late to see the irises.

You'll have to wave toward Albany, OR toward my son and d-in-law.

Well,Lois are you coming again this summer? Come say hello and eat a marionberry. :) Joann

Joann, Yum, that sounds good ! But I'm coming for Christmas this year.

By the way, one of those marion berries plants has survived. I'm so happy. Maybe in years to come, I'll have a whole slew of them. :-)

In the fall, Lois, take the canes that I have not produced fruit that summer and stick the end of it into the ground, here it usually in October. Through the winter that cane will sprout roots and by the next spring a new plant emerges from the top. Cut it loose from the mother cane and voila a new plant. And then that mother cane will produce fruit that summer. Make any sense?

Tell them that the iris I and my MIL got from them are lovely and we'll be ordering more! LOL

I think an Iris co-op would be a good thing! I know that I am ordering more too.
