first iris

img_7221.jpg

I’ve moved this iris several times. In my old garden three years ago it bloomed on exactly the same day of the year, considering that that year was a leap year. That amazes me since I dug it up last July, packed it off a hundred miles west and left it sitting around in a hot shed for weeks before planting it in completely different soil.

  1. Did you ever find out what kind of iris this beauty is, Bill? The color is spectacular. I looked on this page

    then realized that I had no idea of the size of your iris. And they were all so temptingly lovely.

    Beautiful shade of blue. They usually tend to have some purple but this looks like the blue of the Himalayan poppy.

    Beautiful photo. I have a cross stitch version of that same iris over my computer desk. It is one of my favorite flowers.
