I think only a few bloomed in this big clump last year.
Here are a few shots taken in different directions from the same iris clump:
Toward the rockwall garden:
Toward the woodland paths:
This big bud

I was hoping it would be a blue color because a few years ago I bought a "blue" iris and have never seen it bloom. I think maybe this is the iris. Often what they call "blue" is really purple.
I do love bud shots.
Here is a very old pass-a-long variety whose name I have never known.
I've always admired its brown-toned coloring.
This large pink variety was purchased in a grocery sack full of rhizomes at a garage sale.
All in all I am happy the iris blooms this year.
I love your Iris' they are so pretty...my blooms are long gone...
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to get more irises in my garden. Right now I have 8 different varieties. About half of which I do not know the names. I am hoping for a great display next year. The peony that I added are doing lovely. I will definitely be adding more of those.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have placed these tall irises right next to the paths, rebelling against the "class picture effect". Good for you!
Lucky you!This wasn't a good year for my irises. Either I need to separate more (which I've done in the past) or the snow bothered them. I have about 15 varieties and only about 7-8 came up.
