We saw a park with lots of Iris blooming while we were driving in Hokkaido. We turned around and went back and marvelled at the smorgasboard of exquisite blooms. These are but a few of the many.
This is the "driveby iris". I was working in the garden one day and a woman I had never met drove by with a pickup truck full of irises she was moving. She stopped and gifted me a large clump of them.
They are heavy bloomers and nice vigorous growers. 3/4 of row 10 along the front edge of my border garden is edged with these.
Only two blooms so far (both opened today) but there's buds everywhere. Should be very flowery here soon!
Whats the most difficult colour to reproduce on a white page?
White!
Seems a bit stiff and forced to me. It looks "nice" but doesn't have the "pop" of the stelitzia. Maybe the greenish background was a mistake? Don't know. it was a hard drawing to do.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak , then am I strong.
