"In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish'd dove;
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." - Alfred Lord Tennyson

A yellow and purple bearded iris, which I have been cultivating from a small shot for the past couple of years.
I visited this Presby Memorial Iris Gardens located in Upper Monclair, NJ. There are many species of it. Here is the "Iris Collections" I have. If you wish to see more, please click on: www.flickr.com/photos/71855373@N00/sets/72157650385789163
The Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers.
It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species.
As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species.
It is a popular garden flower. The genus is widely distributed throughout the north temperate zone. Their habitats are varied, ranging from cold and montane regions to the grassy slopes, meadowlands and riverbanks of the northern hemisphere.
Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems. All irises have long steal and flowers with six petals, three downwards and three upright. The flowers can range in color from golden yellow, to white, blue, lavender and purple. Pink and apricot colored irises are grown in some species.

De lis (Iris) is een plantengeslacht uit de lissenfamilie (Iridaceae). Zowel het geslacht als de soorten worden in de volksmond vaak iris genoemd. Het geslacht kent naast zo'n 260 à 300 beschreven soorten ook vele cultivars. Lissen worden al lang door de mens gebruikt. In de Egyptische piramiden zijn afbeeldingen van lissen te vinden, die stammen uit 1500 v.Chr.
De verschillende soorten lissen komen algemeen voor in de noordelijke gematigde klimaatzone. Alle irissen hebben lange stelen en bloemen met zes kroonbladeren, waarvan drie naar beneden wijzen en drie rechtop staan. Bij sommige kleinere soorten wijzen de kroonbladeren allemaal naar buiten.
De bloemen kunnen in kleur variëren van goudgeel, tot wit, blauw, lavendel en paars. Roze en abrikooskleurige irissen zijn gekweekt binnen sommige soorten.
De meeste wilde lissen groeien uit een wortelstok, maar sommige soorten groeien vanuit een bol. Deze laatste soorten worden als cultuurgewas geteeld.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de buitentuin van zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.

In NJ, the weather has been like springtime (btw 50F -64F) during the month of December so far, it sure reminds me of the spring blooms.
For those didn't know why I've uploaded many irises' photos, it's because my granddaughter's name is Iris. There is the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in NJ where is about 35 minutes from my home. It's become our tradition to visit it there once a year ( I did it twice this year). This garden grows over 1,000 species of irises. Only if I had more time to spend there, you'd see even more of them. =)
