Iris

This is a good iris year. I never know how many will bloom because I am always moving them. They usually don't bloom the year after being moved.


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:

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.
