    Want to see? :-D

    These are all of different gardens--there may be a few exceptions.

    I didn't add the close up in order to have time to fit in just the gardens, so I'll add those later.

    Dad started hybridizing Iris over 20 years ago, and it turned into a business. He started selling in 1987. He's 75 years old and does ALL the work himself. There are others helping to sell this year. It's mostly dig-your-own.

    These are all of different gardens...
