You definitely should go sometime.
DeleteThis is the first garden I have seen that is dedicated to the iris. Rose gardens and tulip fields are very popular, but we tend to forget just how colorful and how many varieties of iris there are. Thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteYes it is unusual that it is dedicated to irises! There are quite a few varieties, too!
DeleteOh my word, what a sight that must be to see!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
Deletei have never been but would love to go. your images are extraordinary!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get to go one day!

DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous and refreshing! :)
ReplyDeleteThey sure are.
DeleteBeautiful blooms and as a former Jersey-ite hard to learn that I missed this all the years I grew up and lived in NJ 😟 . Just "found" your blog through a comment left on La Memoire Vive, Catherine's wonderful blog on Paris. I am a NJ native as well, grew up in Union County, lived in Middlesex County and in southern NJ before relocation at a small town on the VA eastern shore, and now NH. Still have NJ ties and do get back "home." Enjoyed the Only in Jersey and Memories pages. Remembered Wild West City and Land of Make Believe visits and shopping at Bamberger's in Plainfield which also had Tepper's and Goerke 's and a Grunings as well! Thanks for the great memories and there is truly NO place like NJ and nay to those unfair raps in shows and films!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that New Jersey gets a very bad (and undeserved) rap. I'm so glad that you have fond memories of New Jersey!
DeleteMy goodness -- those are gorgeous!!! I have dark purple irises & it seems to be the color I see most around our area.
ReplyDeleteYes, the purple irises do seem to be the most common.
DeleteI love Irises and wish I had known about this park sooner (ok next year) and I will plan a MMT there and surprise my friends. I love your discoveries. Once again your blog server doesn't want to recognize me :( pbenjay.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to surprise your friends with the iris gardens! So pretty.
DeleteStunning photos,for me, girls would really love this place. :)
