We stopped in Parkes today and walked down to the shops after setting up the van. Golden hour was very flattering to the spring gardens on the way
My spring pictures seem to be mainly irises, pansies and bluebonnets, but that is what I'm seeing the most. I will always love the iris because it is such a beautiful flower. This shot was taken midday so there was a lot of sun light, but the colors still show up well.

Siberian Iris 'Savoir Faire'
(Click image to enlarge)
36". Deep glowing velvety royal purple to cobolt violet. Small yellow signals. Wide flowers and an easy and quick clumping variety.
Siberian Iris or Iris Siberica are easy to grow and reasonably maintenance free. Siberian Iris prefer sun to part shade, and a well mulched soil. Fertilize in early spring with an all-purpose fertilizer, this is also the time to divide clumps if required. Siberian Iris grow from 20cm to 100cm depending on species. Flowering in late spring Siberian Iris also have arching grass-like leaves staying green throughout summer. They will tolerate wet conditions. www.carrollscountrygardensnursery.net

Reblooming Tall Bearded (TB) Iris
Growing in our front yard - Broadmoor Neighborhood, Little Rock, Arkansas
It's a 2004 cross. i was a total novice then, i don't know what i did, or didn't do, but only one seedling survived the winter and the wet spring, and it was EITJE! Piece of cake: i didn't have to decide who would live and who would die,( which is the name of the game when you hybridize...).
EITJE means 'little egg', and that fits the colour range it has, but there is a second meaning to this word in Dutch, it also means 'easy', 'easily done'. So EITJE it was!
Pod & Pol fertile.
'Eitje'is available at Marianne Joosten's, in The Netherlands:

and in France, at Jean-Luc Gestreau's : www.ferme-des-iris.com/Catalogue/Creations-LOIC-TASQU.html
C'est un croisement de 2004. J' étais complètement novice, je ne sais pas ce que j'ai fait, ou pas fait, mais un seul semis a survécu à l'hiver et au printemps humide, et c'était EITJE ! Super facile: je nai pas eu a décider de qui vivrait ou qui mourrait, (ce qui est la règle du jeu en hybridation...).
EITJE veut dire "Petit Oeuf", ce qui correspond assez bien à ses couleurs, mais ce mot a un deuxième sens en Hollandais, il peut aussi signifier "facile", "facilement fait", "les doigts dans le nez" ! C'était donc le nom parfait!
Fertile dans les deux sens.
