Nice pictures Gloria. I love Iris and can you please tell me what the 3rd flower is....the pink one?
We are not that far along here in AB, although we were 30° today!

Thank Guys!
Dave, If memory serves me correctly if believe it was Aquilegia 'Nora Barlow'
I have so many columbines for so many years, Ya don't don't pay attention to the tags anymore.
Well Todd we went thru a wicked heat wave at first. Now it's coolish with tons of rain, day and night. Then there's the zone eh?!
Will post photos of that iris when it finally busts open, depending on the rains of course 
Edit: Thought I would just add some new photo's here.
The bronze Iris has opened this morning ...

Your garden loooks terrific, very healthy and floriferous!! What a treasure and reward gardening is. I love the hostas! We have so much shade here, they are used quite a bit in our landscape!
Way to go!

Thanks Char
Uh don't you just love the hosta, beautiful shade plants add so much to any garden. I've had mine for about 15 years now.
I hope you can post some of yours??
Ha ha Dennis, Of course I don't mind, as a matter of fact just go nuts anytime.
Those roses are to die for!!!!!!! The scent of those are so beautiful WOW!
I really hope the other members decide to join into the thread
