He collected stuff for about 60 years. And not just military. He has a collection of old, old wagons that's to die for. They're housed in another large building. He sold part of the collection to a group of Amish and has another party interested in buying the rest of the collection.
He was single until 5 years ago and his wife told him she didn't want to have to deal with selling the stuff when he's gone (I don't blame her!!) so he's selling everything now.

Yes, those irises are gorgeous - - large and pure white. And the nice thing is they bloom twice a year.

I noticed this morning another of the irises Dad sent has put up a couple of bud stems. They're called English Charm and are also beautiful. Kind of a tan and pale lavender with splashes of yellow. I snapped this pic the first year they bloomed.

What delicate coloring! It’s gorgeous. I love irises. Mine didn’t bloom very well this year because of the lack of rain. :(
