Gorgeous!!!!
I love your iris pics. I had some yellow ones I lost last year, but fortunately I had divided them with a neighbor so she told me last nite that she is gonna give me some back because they've multiplied again this year. YAY!!! Eager to get some other colors soon, too. I keep reminding myself that Rome wasn't built in a day but I just feel like I want to take a week of vacation, and a huge loan out so I can get out there and play in my front yard. Thank goodness it's gonna be pretty this weekend. Maybe I'll get to do something toward it anyway......

Oh My gosh! How did I miss these. They are beautiful!
I started off with one bed of Irises and now I have several, mostly from trades. I told you I was an Iris fanatic!! LOL
My very favorite blue and white hasn't bloomed yet ..it usually blooms twice a year and always gives me a bloom in December so it maybe a while yet before it blooms again.
Irises are so easy to care for, I just love the beautiful blooms and year round greenery. Having mild winters here, they don't die back and I don't have to dig them up in the fall. It took about 3 years to get divisions and plant several beds but they're doing nicely now.

I love them too Gloria. I got all of mine from trades and from my mother's beds. I was concerned that I was doing something wrong because mine were not blooming and they up and starting blooming. I have four different beds and they have really multiplied. One purple has bloomed and a yellow that looks like a bird is blooming now. I will take some pics today after the rain dries up a bit. I have another in my front bed getting ready to bloom. I don't have any idea what color it is. I have an African iris given to me by an ex co-worker that is the only one that has continually bloomed. They have them at walmart and Lowe's. I might buy a couple of them.

Just Lovely Gloria, I can't wait for my first 5 new ones for the new house to arrive. I guess that I should have dug some up in Ontario and tried to sneak them across the border, but that is a no no, that is how all kinds of diseases and bugs get transported. maybe next year I will have some stuff big enough to do some trades. I had about 10 varieties up there.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing with us, I love irises. lost alot of mine 2-3 springs ago, they all rotted on me so moved what lived to another garden. My sil and I went to an iris auction and at the end they sold the left overs for $1 so I bought a mess of them. The first couple of yrs, they were awesome then we had a very very wet spring and they alot rotted on me. the place in the garden that I had them was too wet.
Please keep the pics coming, I enjoy them so much
