Made it to MN and had a special outing with my mom. We stopped at:

 

Anderson Iris Gardens – 651-433-5268

See how brown and crunchy the grass is?  : (

 Aparently one preused the gardens, orders the bulbs, and you recieve them in the fall if there are enough.  Cool!

(They don’t have a website or I’d post it.)
 
I’d never been here.  My mom’s ordered plants from them before.  It is ACRES of gardens. They specializein irises and peonies.  (Two of my favorites.)  It’s been brutally dry in MN. The gardens seemed a little behind in blooming. Had we showed up, maybe, 5 days later I suspect it would be nearly in full bloom!
 
 
Still…oh my…so pretty!
