Learned the lesson of not backing up photos and had to hunt this down on fb to find it.

A great iris because it does not need staking and stays nice and compact.

Iris 'Sugar Blues', 1984, fragrant, rebloomed for me in August - October

This is one of the Iris which bloomed in my garden in May. Iris always make me remember my paternal grandmother who was an amazing gardener and especially loved Iris. She would graft them to create new varieties and had one named after each of her grandchildren. This is actually one of those plants which I took from my mother's garden (and she had taken from my grandmother's garden). I'm afraid I've forgotten if it was my namesake, or one of my siblings. As a gardener I'm not even in the same solar system as either my grandma or mother, and sadly I don't get many flowers on these Iris anymore. I really need to dig them up and replant them as the rhyzomes are root bound and other plants are crowding them out. 💙

The Dixie Iris (Iris hexagona) are blooming at the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge abut 20 minutes south of Lake Jackson, TX. This photo shows the detail of the petals with some unknown flying insect.

In flower today in my garden.

Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris

Irises or "beardies" . Some color to remind up of warmer days.

We visited the Argyle Acres Iris Farm, in Argyle, Texas. If you like iris, this is your kind of place. They sell over 500 varieties and in April many of them are on display in their huge garden.

This is one of the iris that came with our rental. This is the first time it's bloomed in 3 springs!
