Irises in the Laking Garden

I had a lovely visit at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington with my Mom and my niece.  The irises in the Laking Garden were in full bloom and there were just so many fantastic colours and varieties that I had never seen before.  It is a really spectacular sight, if you are able to make it there while they are in bloom.
