Audrey: Hi Jain! Hope all is well with you - I keep trying to look at your iris but cannot access pages... all of the iris I purchased from you 2 years ago are doing so well, I did not see you selling anywhere last fall, but if you will be selling iris this year and have a moment, please let me know..... If not, I will continue to enjoy all the lovely iris I do have! Regards, Audrey

Evelyn: Thank you for the beautiful photos. Now, I'm curious what town you are located near? The Iris' are especially gorgeous! Are you in the foothills to the Sierras or the Pacific mountains? We are in the northern central valley. Peach trees, prunes and almonds just finished blooming. Your kitty cats sure look nice and content! Sincerely, Evelyn

Gerlinde aka Calendula: Your Garden is heavenly! Through co-incident I came upon your post in the "fix" forum and noticed your invitation to you Garden Album. I am glad I took you up to it once_in_a_blue_moon. The scenery is outstanding in your garden paradise. To name what I like best would be impossible since everything is stunning. Love your Plumbego , I had it once but it does not keep very good inside here in Canada. I also love you garden frogs, they are absolutely adorable. The cat next to the frog, picture is priceless. Congratulation to a beautiful garden. Gerlinde. P.S. I will send this URL to my friend in California (Yuba City) she'll be interested I am sure.

audrey jones: Hello Jain! It's that time of year again and I was looking forward to revisiting your iris gardens but I cannot access the Iris pages --- also wondering if you will be making some of your beauties available for sale this year? Audrey

Monique: Surprise! It's me..You need a new Album here.."Dining In The Garden" w/ all your great foodie photos and dishes:) I don't know how many dozens of time I look at your photos..but I never tire. I read a quote that reminded me of your home.. "I wonder what it must be like to live where it is always June" Moi.

Audrey Jones: Hi Jain! I just wanted to let you know that the iris you sent me last fall are settling in very nicely - I only wish I had ordered twice as many as I have room for about 20 more! Looking forward to adding more to my gardens when you start dividing this summer! Have a great Spring!

Taryn: Well Ms Jain, been a little while, how are you? I just took a tour of your pics and oh WOW, your hill is just a glorious site to behold!!!! I remember when Scott was pouring all those steps, now they're flanked with lavender and iris, just incredibly, stunningly beautiful! All of it is just out of this world--the riot of colour, luscious greens, framed with gorgeous hardscapes, arbours, benches, garden art and statuary! Flora is a Goddess! You are an artist my dear, with that hill as your canvas and also with your breathtaking photography! Thanks for sharing your beauty with us. I loved the tour, now I'm off to dream about your heaven on earth...Taryn :)

In addition to the beautiful gardens, I enjoyed the architectural events, ie: the birdhouse arch, the trellis', the fountain, the hammock. Just wondered if the frogs friend has a name. Looking forward to visiting you again soon. Carole

: As I returned to visit to your garden this afternoon it was so fun to view your'Todays Garden'album! I'm glad you have it separate.

jasminei: Oh how I enjoyed my visit around your garden. You're really quite remarkable. I had 40 rose bushes in California and I thought I was doing well. Oh boy, was I wrong. In Utah I have one unidentified iris. It was so fun to view yours. You've done a wonderful job of marking them.

Wendy Harris: What a fabulous website. It's so creative and professional. The pictures are to die for! Thanks for a great time!!
August 29, 2002 9:51PM

Katie: Incredible! I absolutely love your desgn work! What a challenge, working on a hill like that. I was especially taken with the rose garden design. All the flowers pics are great. The tellis' and arches are lovely - great designs. I moved to a one acre place a year ago and am currently designing my gardens. Seems like all I've been doing lately is putting in shrubs, trees and perennials. I hope to get a clematis propagation nursury going in the next two years. I'm bookmarking your site and will return often for inspiration! Katie Grass Valley CA Katie
