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!

There is a bumper crop of Irises this year. In solid colours and in combinations of colours. Brampton Ontario Canada
I was out for a walk today in my local park when I noticed this early Iris nestling in the border, the wonderful colours really stood out against the bare border at this time of year, I couldn't resist taking a quick snap.
This was Thornes Park in Wakefield, West Yorkshire UK.

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.

A really lovely purple Iris is now the only thing standing in our front garden now that our landlord hacked all the beautiful weeds down!
We had never seen irises like these before.
The Butchart Gardens began when the Butchart family moved to Vancouver Island to open a limestone quarry and cement plant. Jennie Butchart was an avid gardener, and when the quarry was exhausted, she worked to create her vision of a grand garden.
We took a day tour from Vancouver to Victoria which, of course, included a ferry ride. Our tour guide was wonderful, and the tour itself included stops in downtown Vancouver and the Butchart Gardens.
