Gorgeous Iris Day

Today was the opening day of the Vacaville Iris Farm's 2011 season.  We went to see the farm and enjoyed ourselves so much.
First, I have to say that valley is beautiful.  There were pastures with horses, cows, and sheep.  We saw a free range chicken ranch that sells fresh laid eggs and we also passed many bee hives.  We caught a glimpse of the bee keepers as work.  Everything was lush and green. It would have been most enjoyable just as a drive in the country.  Then we made it to the Iris Farm.

The family that runs the farm was so friendly.  The kids ran up to us to offer help and give us a clipboard so we could write down the ones we liked.  We could have written down each and every one.  I will let the photos below speak for themselves....

 We had so much fun! my battery ran out before we could finish taking photos.  A young girl who was helping us took the photo.  Lavender decided they should be friends, so the walked around looking at the irises holding hand and having a great time.  I have to bring all of my flower loving friends back. I will take some photos of the ones we purchased once they come into bloom!
