Mission: Accomplished

Last night, as I was driving back from the store, I spotted a bright splash of purple off the side of the road.

Irises.

Ones I don't have.

I dropped my stuff off at the house, then doubled back.  There was nowhere to pull off the road, so I had to walk about 10 minutes each way to get to them (with a bag and trowel in my pocketses).
One small root came home with me.

I also found a pretty new place for a photograph, but I'll need to bring my tripod (and possibly someone to drive the getaway vehicle).  The friend I went out with on Sunday also said he knows of more pretty places near my house if I'm ever bored on a Sunday.  :D

In my garden at home, methinks the monster walking onion was been taking notes from the Triffids...
I think it'll soon be stealing souls by moonlight.

The roses are pretty, too.
"Rush Gallica" and 'Variegata di Bologna'


This evening, I finished assembling the 3'x6' raised planting bed and filled it halfway with soil.  I'll fill it up the rest of the way when I get a sunny day.
