Flower Gardens near Salem, June 5, '08
Sit back and prepare for a visual feast! Yesterday I took my friend Colleen to the Addlemans Peony Gardens and the Shriners Iris Gardens near Brooks, OR. The rain didn't stop us, and I had a delightful time taking pictures under an umbrella.
Look at the size and color of these blooms!
While looking at this picture, my daughter Kristin said she expected a little fairy to pop out.
Nature's paintbrush!
The Iris Gardens had a large variety of flowers.
Like I said, the rain didn't stop us :). We almost had the whole garden to outselves!
It doesn't get prettier than this
...peonies mixed with
columbines
There was an amazing variety of irises.
This is called a Fringe Tree.
Lupin
Oriental Poppies
Pink Dogwood
More Lupin
Columbines are one of my favorites.
More poppies
Delphinium
This was one of my favorite irises.
This was a gorgeous peony.
Buckets of irises for sale made a beautiful display.

I cannot believe some of the pictures you got! They are incredible!! In one of the pictures it almost looks unrealistic they are so beautiful! I would have loved to see those.
