Irises

The previous owners of our house were gardeners and we inherited some beautiful trees, shrubs and perennials. (We've also inherited all of their wacky homegrown weed control ideas from over the years; we've pulled out fabric, carpets, trash bags, screens, mesh, rocks, etc from our beds outside!)

Right now all of the irises are in bloom and they are gorgeous. A perfect excuse for a photo shoot!

I got these shots by telling her that there might be candy inside. :) So now we call them candy flowers.

Look at the size of these guys!

Didn't want Kelly to miss out on modeling the blooms, so I brought one inside.

Who can resist a nakey baby?
