Borglum--any relation to Gutson Borglum (guy credited with creation of Mount Rushmore)?

Absolutely stunning!!! Your dad must spend tons of time on his flower beds, but it sure pays off.

Oh Karla, that was a feast for the eyes, what beautiful blooms.

I loved the Pink Iris, never ever seen that colour before and the white one with the blue edging, just like lace, stunning.

Thanks for the show.

NOW I know where you get your green thumb!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I had no idea there were that many colors and varieties of iris. Each and every one is drop dead gorgeous. I could not possibly pick a favorite if I had to.

Beautiful pics, Karla. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us. A feast for my eyes.

Wow! The air must be SO FRAGRANT there! Intoxicating! I'm swooning!

And you've inspired me to get back to work on my garden! Thank you, Karla!

Love from Marcella

What a gorgeous show! The colors were amazing. Your dad is very talented. And I guess Mother Nature helps a little! Although she tends to ignore me! LOL!

Loved the close-up of the "funky" flower. Your photog skills are wonderful, Karla.

What can I say, Karla? You are a wonderful photographer and I enjoyed each and every one of those iris.

We are at 2500 feet with red, rocky dirt and I have planted a lot of iris and have been rewarded with only a few (like 2 or 3) blooms. I think I probably need to improve the soil, fertilize or something.

I'm sure your Dad knows, he obviously has a "green" thumb and knows what he is doing!
