Brenda's Irises are always an eye candy! Thank you, Renee, for the link.

I especially always like the way Brenda has a knack for pairing iris with other perennials and shrubs.

I love Brenda's gardens, the irises and the clematises especially. It is always a treat when she posts a series of new pictures during each new season.

Hi Renee, just got the magazine, so cool!

I got a bunch of new irises last year from sales and trades, so I'm hoping to see about 20 new TB faces bloom. I also have a new love, japanese irises, and got about 12 of those last year. So much to look forward to!

Thanks Reneee, for making it happen. My (young) kids were so amazed to see our garden in a magazine. Pretty pleased myself :-)

Just got a new computer for Christmas, finally moved all the photos over and am about to start sorting through for posting some new photos on GW. Wonder sometimes if I'm boring people, because many times this year's pictures aren't all that different from last year's. But this time of year we need some pretty photos to remind us that Spring is not that far away.

Brenda, I would never be bored with any of your photos. I could look at hundreds of them and get so many ideas. Your gardens are absolutely gorgeous and very interesting with your mix of bulbs, perennial, vines and shrubs. You are extremely talented and I'm always so happy when you post new photos.

Brenda, boring, are you kidding. I never get tired of looking at pictures of your garden, I'm really looking forward to the next ones. Your garden is inspirational to all of us.

I know many people will enjoy her wonderful photos and be inspired!

Brenda, are you crazy?! No one ever gets bored looking at your garden! In fact, I have gone thru your album several times over last year to get some inspiration. ;-)

I'm also look forward to the photos you post, Brenda.

If it wasn't for pictures of your gardens Brenda, I COULD NOT make it through another winter! Congratulations on being featured in the American Iris Societies magazine, it is well deserved!

ok - soon as we get some cold weather (later this week) I'll be sorting through photos.

Today and tomorrow it's supposed to be high 40s - Jan Feb weather??? so I'll be outside working in the woods, clearing out invasives etc. But back to freezing after that.

I must admit I spend more time looking at catalogs, magazines, and online this time of year . . .
dreaming of spring!

Brenda, it sounds like there will be some new and spectacular things to look at in your garden this year. Can't wait to see what you do with the Japanese irises. They are exquisite things- I saw a photo of some pure white ones once that looked like birds in flight. I'm getting antsy for spring...

I saw some "Great WHite Heron" that were huge in White FLower Farm, but didn't want to spend that much on them. Now I wish I had, they aren't offering them this year.

My iris are going by the pond, but realistically, it's going to take a few months to get that area ready for planting. I've been chopping down saplings and other weeds from the area this winter.

Congratulations Brenda.
All I can say is DITTO what everyone has already told you. Your gardens are beyond gorgeous and I NEVER tire at looking at your photos.

I'm so proud FOR you!
It is well deserved!
You GROW girl!
...Now, where can I get one of those magazines?

I want to echo the other comments because your plant combinations are so beautiful. I never tire of looking at your photos.

Brenda's photos are always inspiring. Such beautiful combinations and wonderful planning.
