"Merlot" (Annie Appleseed Miani)

SPRING HIGHLIGHTS: As spring moves ever closer to summer, we need to appreciate the blooms we have before they fade. Annie "Appleseed" Miani sent these photos of bearded iris growing in her Pleasant Hill home. Iris come in hundreds of varieties, including Romantic Evening and Merlot. If you think you have something special to share, send it — along with the plant's name, the city you live in and any other fun info — to the Times, Home & Garden, P.O. Box 8099, Walnut Creek, CA 94596-8099, or e-mail JPEGs to jmorris@bayareanewsgroup.com. Prints should be on photo paper, and digital images should be high-resolution. You also can post your masterpieces on the Home & Garden photo blog at www.ContraCostaTimes.com/homeandgarden.
