    wow! what kind of Iris are those? Are they Dutch Iris? and I have heard of Tulip Poplar before but that is the first time I've ever seen the bloom... holy moly... it's GORGEOUS!

    man, you've got lots of color and GREEN grass! Big Grin


    The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.
