Iris's at Aitken's Salmon Creek Garden
The iris's are all in bloom at Aitken's SalmonCreek garden in HazelDell WA just north of Vancouver.
About 4 acres of all colors, and sizes. Photographers are welcome anytime. Also an orchid greenhouse that may or may not be open.

Located about 1 mile West of I-5 on 117th where it curves to become 119th Turn right at 7th Ave and park on 7th.

Had pretty harsh light today but hope to get up and be there by 7AM Tomorrow.

I was unaware of this location Jerry, thanks for noting it. Love the orange here.

Great tip Jerry! Nice close-up and nice job in harsh light. I love the sharpness back in the depths of the flower. It would be nice to have the foremost stamen (?) be in the field of sharpness as well.
