First iris for the season popped up when I wasn't looking. It was still cold today but could feel a bit of warmth in the sun.
Very late bloomer, small flowers on thinner (but strong) stalks.
Fleurit très tard, petites fleurs sur tiges fines (mais solides).

The beautiful curves, colours and texture of an Iris in our garden near sunset.
Worth viewing large!
I particularly like the shape and colour of the 'lips' in the centre (note 1), the delicate, slightly out-of-focus pattern on the petal (2), the 'hairs' (I've forgotten what they're called!) at the back (3) and the bud of a new flower peeking out from behind the front petal (4)

This blue bearded iris used to grow in a front yard along my walk to the bus stop. For years I admired it each spring and wished I had the nerve to snag just one offshoot to take home. I never met the home owners or I would have asked. Then one day there was a big dumpster and a crew of workers scraping the ground bare! I asked if I might pull some plants out of their piles. They said no, probably liability concerns. I was heartbroken. On the way home from the bus stop that evening, the dumpster was still there, full. I thought the iris would be buried under yards of sod but when I looked in, there they were, neatly stacked in a corner right on top. Im certain one of the workers must have overheard my request and secretly stashed them there for me.
That was years ago. Since then these have multiplied and bloomed magnificently.
