This lovely little plant (about 8" tall) blooms much earlier than the traditional irises and spreads into charming clumps like this. I've read that when the clump has an empty hole in the middle it's time to divide it. Looks like we'll have a bit of transplanting to do.
Luckily I was standing in front of the first iris of the season when the sun broke through the clouds for all of 30 seconds.

About 35 years ago I dug the parent plant of this iris out of a patch of ground that was going to be converted into a parking lot. They're still blooming prolifically today.

The community garden at LaGuardia Place is being endangered by the expansionThe community garden at LaGuardia Place is being endangered by the expansion of NYU. It's a shame that NYU would do such a thing as to take away this beautiful community garden. The folks who tend to and care for the garden grow such amazing looking flowers and plants. It's a great place for a visit. On this particular day, the roses were in full bloom and we just had to stop by for a wander.
