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.
For an iris folding swap on Swap-Bot. I made the pattern myself. ;) I'm going to try to post the pattern on my blog... sometime.
This bearded iris (Iris germanica) can be found in the Kansas State University Gardens. Unfortunately, bearded iris will not thrive in Florida. Instead, try blue flag iris (Iris virginica), Louisiana iris (Iris fulva), or African iris (Dietes vegeta).
This is one of the iris that came with our rental. This is the first time it's bloomed in 3 springs!

This is a wild iris that I saw on the edge of a bush lake. It was the only one sitting alone in isolation

Comment: Latin genus name for irises comes from Greek word 'iris'('viris'), which denotes rainbow or bow and reflects beauty of colors and shapes of these flowers. In deed all twelve species and subspecies of this genus, which grow in Slovenia in the wild, are very beautiful. No wonder, gardeners have cultivated these plants long time ago and have developed many different new forms. Lists of different hybrids and garden forms are known already from ancient times. Many symbols and coat-of-arms, particularly in the history of French dynasty, are based on the plants' flower shape.
Interestingly one of our species growing in the wild, Iris x germanica, is actually an old garden plant, which escaped from gardens back to wild nature. It is actually a hybrid of an unknown origin, or at least of an not yet agreed upon origin. Today it can be found scattered almost in all regions of the Alps as well as in other European mountains and regions. Due to its efficient vegetative propagation it frequently forms large groups of plants with tens of their large (up to 9 x 6 cm), deeply violet flowers. Very beautiful encounters!
