Iris Bursting In Bloom!

Fringe Benefit
My Iris have burst into bloom this week.  In the evening the buds resemble candelabras glowing in the moonlight. 

I will share a few photos of what is blooming now.  I still have many more buds that will open and am waiting for the golds and yellows to bloom, but for now this will do.

  4. Your iris are just awesome. I love the peach one. We had a nice collection of iris at the old house and are still working on collecting here at the Garden Spot. We transplanted most that we had at the other place, but I didn't get all of them, like my bright orange one. My iris expert neighbor dug up some of the orange one, saying that orange is a rather rare color. Yours are gorgeous.

    1. Ann, I have an orange one that should be coming into bloom this week. We had a few hail storms after I took these photos, but they still look good today. I will be over to your blog soon.

  5. I have never grown irises (except the small crested iris) and am amazed at the different colors. The coral points look luscious, and the walking iris is so unusual. I can just picture their beauty in the moonlight.

  7. And I thought I had a lot of Iris! Yours are heavenly. 3 years ago, I was "gifted" a garden of Iris, IF I dug them up. I ended up with over 800 plants. I just planted them higgeldy piggeldy, and am now happily surprised at each new color that blooms in every corner of the garden!

    1. Jeri, That is a lot of plants! When I divide mine up I try to give as many away as possible, but still seem to keep more than I need. They are so beautiful when in bloom.
      Thank you for visiting my blog!
