At one time, my idea of a perfect long vacation would have been to start in  
zones 9 & 10 and "follow" iris bloom season across the country!  
 
Then, I'd come home from viewing gardens for a week-end or a week only to  
realize that the prettiest were in MY garden.  I'd set the suitcases on the  
steps and rush out to see what opened up while I was gone.  
 
I came back from a week in St. Louis in 2005, pulled into the driveway, and  
went straight to the garden!  I unloaded the car only after I'd checked all  
the new blooms and made a couple of crosses!  Well, I had to!  Lots  had opened 
in five days!
