After
a good night’s sleep, I started my first full day in Oregon with an early
morning visit to Schreiner’s Gardens. Everyone was just waking up and setting
up the garden for the arrival of visitors and I had the gardens mainly to
myself for much of the early morning. I have combined images in this post from my visits to Schreiner's during the springs of 2018 and 2019.
After
hearing much about him, I finally met Ray’s son, Ben. Ben is the fourth generation
to be involved in the iris business and is bring a fresh prospective as Schreiner’s have now expanded into daylilies and other plants.
I
find it sort of sad that Schreiner’s is really the last old fashion garden with
irises integrated into the landscape with other plant materials.

After a whirlwind visit here, I was on the road again to Mid America.
