Those Sunlover tulips are absolutely gorgeous, you're right the photos aren't close to the real thing!

Thanks Deb
You would think if its dark enough to turn on the autogarage lights,its too dark to take pictures? Right?

doesn't look bad now, were those from this morning?

Yes. I will be planting anemones this AM before it storms and I still have energy. Thought I'd get pix done first.

I love the dwarf iris Celeste sent... didn't realize how much I would love em.. but I do have iris all over the place.. Randy and I were discussing which we were dividing this fall already

I have a collection of them now Allison. :) I bought several in 2009 but they didn't bloom last year. I'm hoping this year!
