Memorial Day at Schreiner's Iris Gardens - I keep going back to take a look at these beautifully presented flowers. Today, all sorts of purples, lavenders and blues.

I took this photo while seated on a sturdy white bench. It's great to get this perspective without worrying about wobbling due to 66-year-old legs/knees and my general lack of being balanced.

These flower beds are in the area farthest from the parking lot, well worth the walk which is either on grass or a hard-packed dirt path. Lots of shade, too.

A rhododendron and lots of hostas on that dirt path. Such a pretty place to walk.

  1. All of the purples look nice. I think I like the second to last one the best, with the mix of dark purples and the two colored flowers.
