'Megabucks' Iris

Beautiful Ruffles

Inherited this beauty...

First Iris of the Year

I used to be obsessed with trying to find variety names of all my iris, but not so much any more since most were "inherited", and it was a guess on many.  My first non-dwarf iris of the season has bloomed.

I did find the name of the next Iris:  'Rare Edition'

Dwarf Iris

     

Stormy Weather

Straight line winds came through causing local tree damage, power outages, and flattening some plants.  Picked up the branches, tied up the plants to supports, and all is well...just not quite as pretty as yesterday.

Let's remove the bushes along the house....

These are the first words I've always said after buying a house.  Three houses, and three sets of bushes removed the first week we lived there!

Our current home before we moved in:

Now we've lived here long enough that several transformations have occurred.  I went through the vine phase where I threw a vine up every railing, but those days are also over.  Nothing gets attached to the house these days.

The Last of the Dwarf Iris

Tall bearded iris coming soon, but the dwarf are fast fading.  Until next year....

Signs of Spring

 

Spring feels so late this year, as we have had snow in May!  But the pixie bearded iris and daffodils have bloomed, and tulips are joining in soon.  I'm particularly smitten by the miniature iris, it is such a cheerful plant and one of the first blooms each spring, even earlier than the tulips.

Bearded Iris Season is Almost Over

I adore tall bearded iris, and this year's blooms have been spectacular! Some I have no names for, they were handed down through family, or I lost the tag when I was young and thought I'd always remember.
