The iris are blooming! Flowering iris always make me think of my Grandma Steinhauser. She had a wide range of iris, but many were this pale purple or lavender shade. She had them along the sides of driveway, the shed and in her “English” garden. They look lovely as a border or as collection in your flower beds.
Grandma often had them mixed in with the peonies. Usually the daffodils would bloom first, then tulips, the the iris and shortly after that, the peonies. The iris and peonies always complimented each other so well.
These old-fashioned iris have many flowers buds on the same stem, putting out many flowers on each plant.
The iris are perennials that are easy to grow and multiply rather quickly.
I took this photo the other day after the rain, this bed has the dark purple and the light purple together. The purple wisteria, in the background, is just starting to open.
Flowers are so beautiful and photogenic. It is fun to play with different apps and filters. This photo was edited with the PhotoRoom app.
Spring flowers are so gorgeous and have so many beautiful colors and many are fragrant. Enjoy this special time of year!
