Iris flowers in bloom!
Cut these from my garden yesterday. They are very nice this year.

Looks like it might have been a wet walk. Hope you didn't get your camera wet!

BobH - What beautiful iris you raise. The purple and yellow together are very regal. What do you feed 'em? (looking for hints to make my iris look
like yours)
Igor - Your walk in the rain was well worth it, having returned with such a fine image of the yellow lupine - what a thick bush that was! The little
pop of color from the california poppies is cool... and I just love the sparkle of rain drops on the leaves. Well done, amigo!

Skipjack--thanks for the cool pic of the Shore Lupines--one of my favorite California natives...I lived over the hill in Burlinghame for a few months
years ago and I loved heading over to the coast and seeing all the cool plants.

Shore Lupines - is that what they're called?
I always considered them to be the 'plain jane' sister of the more glorious valley lupines and paid them no heed. But this weekend I hit them in their
prime I guess. Their beauty just dominated their surroundings (Big Basin).
My quest that day was actually forget-me-nots, which are everywhere right now. But after crawling around on all fours in the underbrush trying to get
a composition I just packed it in and gave up on those rascals. They're just not that easy.
Speaking of irises, to get back on track, there were lots in the state park.

I give all my plants an all purpose fertilizer from Vigoro.
16-16-16 about three or four times a year I sprinkle it around the plants. 'Para Usos Multiples'
