What a nice surprise. Perhaps this was a new variety that I planted last year and which just didn't manage to bloom then. Anyway, I am intrigued by the blue fuzzy things - those are usually yellow!
Last evening, K brought home an armload of vibrant spring flowers for me. He chose a gigantic bouquet of irises, stargazer lilies and carnations because he knew that the flowers would lift my spirits. It was such a lovely, extravagant gesture and so typical of him. He understands the stress of working amidst tight deadlines and he knows how frustrated I am to be shackled to my desk when the blue skies and brilliant spring colours beckon me outdoors. Needless to say, I am overjoyed to have masses of spring blossoms adorning every available surface.
Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris planted out last summer. Cyanea is an historic iris from 1899. It is making a nice clump.

my backyard garden is in full bloom and I am loving it.
this deep purple one is my favorite. Several more should bloom in the next few days.
For all those who wonder: we had two wonderful days, visited five different gardens, we were pampered and very well fed... and we are exhausted now! And we had good weather: the drops on this iris fell during the time we had tea somewhere inside! // Voor wie het wil weten: het waren twee prachtige dagen, bezochten vijf verschillende tuinen, we werden vertroeteld en overheerlijk gevoed... en nu zijn we uitgeput! En we hadden mooi weer: de druppels op deze iris vielen tijdens een theepauze ergens binnen.

Jackie found this one for me at Wislye. I often don't see blue flowers in green foliage unless they're up at eye level.
