On Mother's Day, Birthdays... EVERY Day
Hondo Iris Farm Flowers say, "I Love You!"
When it comes to saying, "I Love You," to mom, your wife, a lover or a friend, New Mexico's Hondo Valley Artist, Alice Seely, knows hundreds of ways to do so in vivid living color. Her answers come in the form of the stunning live Irises and captivating jewelry and art that Alice and her staff lovingly cultivate, create and sell in the gardens and art gallery at Hondo Iris Farms on the eastern edge of Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico's beautiful Hondo River Valley.
Visiting the gardens of Hondo Iris Farm in the spring, summer or fall each year treats guests to a visual and olfactory feast of color and scent that's truly unforgettable. It's an experience that can't be equaled anywhere else in New Mexico and in only a few places worldwide for that matter. The crew at Seely's farm proudly plants, cultivates, grows and sells over 100 varieties of both antique and exotic Iris -- a plant that has been grown commercially in the Hondo Valley for over 100 years and which archeologists say has been planted, cultivated, and used by gardeners to make perfumes and dyes since the days of ancient Rome -- if not longer.

The Iris reach their peak of color, diversity and blossoms in early May. So naturally, Hondo Iris Farm is a delightful place to visit on Mothers Day weekend. As an extra treat, you can also enjoy a relaxing trip through Lincoln National Forest which features its own spring color extravaganza.
But regardless of whether you decide to take the drive on Mothers Day or some other Sunday, Steppin' Out encourages you to visit and enjoy Hondo Iris Farms' Spring Iris Extravaganza sometime in May or June.
