The first yellow iris are blooming today
on the island.

There are a couple of flower buds making
their way to the surface from the lily pads

and DRUM ROLL please!!!!

The lotus jan gave me has a leaf above
the water line (in a container water garden)
and I haven't done it in yet!!!! I think this is
my fourth or fifth try with a lotus. And was/is
going to be my last one.... so it looks, knock
wood, like this one is succeeding!!!

kathy :-)
