Irises

I had to come home from Laura Lake for tomorrow morning's yearly physical.  When I got here, this is what I found.

And this

And this

In the past few years, I've often been on tour when the iris bloom and have only seen photos of them others have taken.  I have about 12 varieties if not more.  

The columbines are in bloom, too

as are the poppies 

And for the first time in years, I get to enjoy them...at least for three days.
