2 days after I noticed the buds starting to show some color, the first Irises opened.
I took lots of photos this day, but it was windy, making it tricky to get well-focused shots.

Cemetery iris, Cedar Hill State Park, Cedar Hill, Dallas County, March 2017
First used in North Africa as a decoration on gravesites, from there to Spain, and finally to the New World. It's a species cross that is unable to make seeds on its own, but spreads by being passed from hand to hand. You will often see it blooming where once a house stood, and it's able to survive unaided in pastures along the roadside, often half-buried in tall grasses and other wild flowers.

Thank you everyone for your good thoughts for Tia this morning. She is doing fine now and Jay expects to bring her home to Mendocino later today
A neighbor offered me some pass-a-long plants from her overgrown garden. On Tuesday, I went on a reconnaissance mission and was absolutely amazed by what I found!
These gorgeous irises are near the bird feeders in the backyard.
