Irises, Columbine, irises, lupines, and more irises

This is going to be a different kind of blog post. We went to Schneider’s Iris gardens. Let the pictures speak. It was amazing! There will be a few comments. Not much to read, just enjoy the colors. This one was the big winner in 1935. Yup! A lot of the winners back then were just purple. I believe the one below was the 1978 winner, the year I graduated from high school.

We had a big change in altitude and temperature. I am sitting in an air conditioned coach. Well, I think the new name is going to stick. Our coach's name is Big Lou. Thank you, David Streeter. Let's go back in time now and catch up on pictures. I'm starting with the few I took in Sisters, OR. We had to take our RV to a diesel truck repair place in Redmond. They needed it all day. If you want details on what they did you can go to Richard's blog at machida.blog.us to learn the technical problems. It was a Freightliner company. We couldn't allow the pets to stay in Big Lou, so they rode along with us in the car all day while we did errands. The first stop??? Yarn store in Bend! The green and gr...
