I didn't see these bloom this year. I need to think of a different spot to plant the rhizomes so they can prosper.
My neighbor's iris, much coveted. It does very well in the Georgia red clay.

The wind was blowing really hard, so I cut this and put it in a vase after I took this picture. I didn't realize that they smell so good until I brought it into the house!

I planted some Iris bulbs at the edge of my patio two years ago. Those
who know the characteristics of Iris realize that they don't bloom in the
first year. So, today they are blooming for the first time.
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.

MR travelled the same territory, unknowingly, that I had the day before, with different results, some (most?) much better.
