    Your certainly ahead of me with your beautiful flowers. I have one small, purple iris blooming for me but my daffodils are only just coming into bud. Isn't it lovely to see things beginning to put on a show for us? :-D

    Ah, the flowers appreciate all your hard work! They are lovely, and I'm sure most welcome.
    If you want some paperwhite bulbs Cheryl, I can send you some mid-summer when the foliage dies down. We have plenty!

    Thanks everyone, yes it is such a cheery site to look out in the backyard and see that mother nature is giving me some colors.

    Boy, oh boy--just look at that iris that Toni sent you! That is gorgeous. Who wouldn't like to have that.
    Patience is a virtue that is often well-rewarded.

    Jerry, they are Dutch Iris that I bought several years ago in a mixed bag of three different colors but no cultivar identified. The purple ones in the bag have pretty much disappeared from the patch, the yellow and white are the strongest.

    I will have more to find homes for next fall, I'll be glad t send you some then.

    Guess I need to start referring them to Dutch Irises instead of Toni's Irises! :D

    Having them named Toni's Iris is kinda cool. Then we would know exactly what was being talked about. :)
