The iris should have already bloomed and gone around here, but I never noticed any. I remember that iris around Oklahoma City were always gorgeous when I lived there in the early 90’s.

These are special to me. They were from the garden of my former mother-in-law who died of cancer years ago. Pale yellow bearded iris that we planted over a decaying tree stump site. They didn’t bloom the first two years but now the blooms are as large as my fist and plentiful.

Do you know: should the blooms be removed when they fade? I’ve done that this year and I’ve had more blooms than ever before...? Also, I don’t know if they should be in full sun as I have them so I moved some to shade in back to see how they do there.
