Just one of my Irises. This one is supposed to bloom again later in the summer. So far it hasn't done that, so may be false advertising. Oh well, it is beautiful in the spring.
The Iris are at the end of the season at Tucson Botanical Garden. It's ashamed the season is so short for these lovely flowers.
le papillon était là depuis 1980, retouché vendredi avec l'ajout des iris (pour mon pays). Ça regarde un peu drole le jour même...

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 takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species
Greener living is a relative and evolving state. Being somewhere between the beginning and the middle (there really is no "end") of a journey entailing discovery, evaluation and adaptation automatically means that there will always be questions, more to do and thing you could do better. . . . Learning to live greener is a process that takes time, and you shouldn't have unrealistic expectations that could sabotage your drive and eventual success. . . . Adopt a willingness to be a work in progress - it's really the only way to work and improve.

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.
