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.
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.
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.
