The Iris Man...

 Row after row of gorgeous Iris

Each year, I visit "The Iris Man".
If you are from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, 
you know just who I am talking about.
Mr. McCullough has placed a lifetime of experience into his Iris plants...and you can have any one of hundreds, for a mere 5.00 per plant, (or rhizome).
He knows every single flower by name...(I am always impressed).


"The Iris Man" is located on Penn Grant Road in Willow Street.  He has told me he is never there on Tuesdays and is usually very busy on Mondays.  Any other day he can be found in his Iris gardens, ready to "dig the flower" of your choice...
Just try to pick only one !

One of the LARGEST, deep dark purple Iris I have ever seen !

Of course, I was dreaming up wool colors 
as I was seeing this spectacular color show...  ;)


Have a fabulous weekend !
