An archived photo today........

Archived, outdated and out of season but it still is a good one.

I spent some time on our old iMac to retrieve photos in order to move them onto my macbook. I found this spring photo taken in 2005 of this wonderful iris.  The bush behind it grew so large that it hasn't bloomed for three years.  I moved it out last fall away from it and it still didn't bloom.  I have large amounts of foliage now so maybe next spring.  If it doesn't bloom this spring, it gets moved out into full sun.

The iris is a lovely color and the texture looks like velvet. Is the bush a wiegela?

That's a really beautiful picture. I'm glad you rescued it. It would look really special in one of your frames.

That is a beautiful Iris. I always think of them being purple and forget they do come in other colors.

I really like your neighbor's Burl Ives snowman. And, yes, I can imagine your dog barking at him! Heh! It is always interesting to think how dogs see things.

My dog Bailey will often get very excited and bark at something I don't even notice or, of course, if there is something new like a truck or tractor outside.

Take care.

Yes the bush is a variegated wiegela. I was too lazy look up the spelling so I thought someone out there would give it to me. Thanks.
