    The flowers are amazing but it is the lilacs that I smell....ummmm, lovely.

    Your dad's gardens must be a local attraction, they are wonderful and he is so diligent in keeping them so awesome.

    I've not looked into Flicker or Esty... but maybe notecards some day... do people use notecards any more?

    Dad has customers from all over--out of state--and he has sold rhizomes to other countries, but I don't think he goes that far now. He also give talks--slide shows to groups, but slides aren't really made any more, and he hasn't quite fallen in love with computers... Power Point, etc. I'm working on him. :wink:

    Absolutely stunning as always Karla! The white bleeding hearts is one of my favourite plants - had it in my English garden but haven't found it here. And the irises are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to share.
