Looks can be deceiving, as this tiny flower is but a few centimetres in size. Apparently it only lives a few days.

Isn't God a great artist? Thank you for looking.

Out of all the flowers, the Iris is my favorite.

One iris a day, keeps my sorrow away......

Iris

Nome latino:

Iris Barbata spp. o Iris Germanica

Famiglia:

Iridaceae

Le iris barbate sono molto facili da coltivare, si tratta di piante spontanee che nei giardini di campagna sono conosciute con il nome di giaggioli selvatici. Presentano un’interessante fioritura che varia di colore in base alla varietà (rosa, blu scuro, viola, arancio, porpora…). Fioriscono insieme alla rose, alle peonie e aquilegie

L’ iris barbata appartiene al genere Iris, questa pianta erbacea perenne rizomatosa sfoggia vistosi fiori e se ne conoscono circa 250 specie originarie dell’Europa, dell’Asia e del Nord America.

A seconda dell’altezza di sviluppo si dividono in barbate alte, barbate intermedie e barbate nane.

Le barbate alte si sviluppano in altezza fino ai 90 – 120 cm. Fioriscono entro maggio.

Le barbate intermedie si sviluppano in altezza tra i 30 e 70 cm e la fioritura si presenta verso aprile.

Le barbate nane presentano uno sviluppo molto contenuto, tra i 35 e 70 cm di altezza. La fioritura delle barbate nane si sviluppa entro marzo.

Le barbate nane, così come le altre iris barbate, vanno messe a dimora da giugno fino al termine dell’estate. Nello stesso periodo è possibile procedere con la moltiplicazione con divisione del rizoma

Sacre bleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!
