I just love irises, they are one of my favourite plants. I remember when we moved into our first home, it was just a plot and didn't even have grass! We thinned out some of the many different types of irises at my old work and suddenly, my garden was an explosion of colour!

Oh, pretty irises, Joanne! I like the line markings and spot of yellow on each petal.

My favorite floral bouquet is purple irises with yellow roses - I've never gotten them from anyone but I do, occasionally, buy them for myself ( back in the era when I got substantial paychecks! ).

Beautiful iris, I love that color. My irises are starting to bloom now, hopefully our winds today won't hurt them too much.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
