Glorious

Well, it would seem that something benefited from the long, cold winter we endured -- the iris this year are absolutely breathtaking!  I have never seen them so vigorous, plentiful, and radiant.  I think the peonies are going to be blockbusters too, judging from the incredible number of buds I see!

(The extra shot shows some of the other Iris varieties thriving in my garden at the moment.)
