a visit to a local iris garden

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

This is my favortie black iris so far. MIDNIGHT OIL

I love SMOKIN'

The purple iris in this picture is GHOST TRAIN. I couldn't find the marker for the other one. If anyone can identify it that would be great because I'd like to find it!

Here is a closer picture of the unknown space age one.

Great pictures! Thanks for the tour. I have Horatio and Samurai Warrior, and I just can't get the color right with my camera. What kind of camera do you have?

I have Let's Boogie, but it hasn't bloomed yet. Thanks for sharing your fun trip.

This one is LOIS PARRISH. I just love the colors!

Oh rats! I have to go again... I'll post the other zillion pictures I took later. :-)

Thanks for the info on your camera. I really like mine-it has some nice features-super macro, action setting-really good when the wind is blowing.
But I just can't get the purples right.

My Pinball Wizard is blooming now-it looks a lot like your unknown above Lois Parrish.

Sandy

Thanks Sandy. I have the most trouble with white or black in the sun. Actually ANYTHING in direct sun lol!
