Blooms 2011 # 7

Batik.....

Top Brass just opening.....

And a Dutch iris just opening......

I love all the blooms! Mail order business sent me a puny Top Brass (in spring, no less), so mine will take a while to be like Robin's.

I'd say mine was about 10......

love the 1/2 open DI!!!

some more from me today... not even going to try and name the iris.. they are all wrong
