Love the iris and dogwood, Moosegirl. I think the dogwoods are about through blossoming in my area, but we still have lots of other garden plants. Right now, I have 3 colors of roses, lavender, columbine, amaryllis, geraniums, begonias, among others. Jodi, you may be a bit disappointed in the Brenham area. We were there week before last and couldn't find the usual display. However, there were a few spots of fields with clusters of people getting photo of family. I have transfeered some photos to fabric (for inclusion in quilts) but would like to see a diffferent setting. I did a crazy quilt for my mother-in-law with pictures from her childhood and early family days....thinking...
