Re: Iris blooming, photos, kiwi visitors.

Sonya - What a delight to hear of your full bloom and nice weather!  
It is especially nice when they are predicting snow flurries here 
today.

Congratulations on your success in showing your iris!  I think the 
first time is the most exciting and you're right - your success will 
encourage you to continue to show in the future.  Showing iris is lots 
of fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.

"Garden Rambling" - what a delightful expression!  I'll have to 
remember that one to use in the future.  Can you really see 20 gardens 
in one day?  I love to visit other gardens.

I agree - there's always room for one more plant.  I have a box of 
spring flowering bulbs to plant now and don't know where I'll put them 
all, but I'm sure I'll find room somewhere.  I did get a little 
carried away at ordering time. 

Please keep us posted as your garden season progresses.
