I was given a tip on where to see some blooming Iris flowers today in East End Park. Sure enough, right on the banks of the San Jacinto river was a small colony of these amazing flowers!

Iris is a young Boxer-Cattle Dog-Staff mix with one blue eye and one brown eye, the look and coloring of a boxer, this girl showed up in front of a doorstep in an open bed truck, rolled up and bungied in some old carpeting. Scared, extremely thin, and dehydrated, Iris was reluctant to trust us, but allowed us to pick her up, put her into our car, and take her to our vet. Very under weight, about 20lbs less than normal, she is now on the road to recovery, ready to start her new life. Maybe she was used a junkyard guard dog, allowed to have at least two litters of pups, she came to us on the verge of death. All her ribs, her spine, and hip bones were showing. Who knows what she had been eating if much. Considering all of this, she is still a very sweet dog, who likes other dogs, is OK with cats, shy but friendly with people. This is one terrific dog. We think that at a normal weight, she will be about 45lbs, so she is a medium size dog, more of a cattle dog size than a boxer. Please consider adopting Iris today.

Iris graminea is a beardless dwarf spuria iris that grows from a rhizome to 8-18” tall. It is native from Spain to Russia and throughout the Caucasus. In the wild, it comes in a variety of different forms depending on geographic location. Plants from central Europe generally have grass like leaves with flower spikes that are somewhat hidden by the foliage. Each flower spike bears two flowers (to 3” long) which have purple standards, purple style branches and violet falls with violet-veined, yellowish-white hafts. Flowers have a fruity aroma somewhat reminiscent of ripe plums, hence the sometimes used common names for this plant of plum iris or plum-scented iris. Flowers bloom in June. Grassy foliage clump may elongate after bloom. Graminea means grass in obvious reference to the grass-like clump of leaves.
