Thanks so much for the wonderful comments Sam, Joannie, Karen and Ann. I have everything so spread out I can't get all that much in a shot Ann. I have taken some captures of different areas that I do plan on entering soon though. Have a fantastic weekend everyone and happy shooting. :) Tommy #8563346

Thanks everyone so much for the kind words, I really appreciate them very much. I'll keep my fingers crossed and use our secret plan Laura lol. I can't wait for them to fill in Valarie. I've added several varieties of reblooming Iris so I'm hoping to see a second flush with this one later in the year. Have a fantastic week everyone and happy shooting. :) Tommy #8572142

Beautiful iris and capture. The reblooming ones are indeed great! #8576901

I love irises, Tommy, and your capture of this one's beauty is top drawer!
I saw many varieties and colors of irises at a garden show in the area last weekend. But they did NOT have this pretty combination of orange and lavender --- I'd have remembered that!
This is the first I've heard about reblooming ones. Guess I'll have to do an internet search about 'em! #8581682
