Beautiful! My Mom grows TONS of Iris - her favorite flower after Lilies. We have some very old blue and white bi-colors that were HER Grandmother’s. We’ve moved them to every house either of us have ever owned. :)
Fortunately, the past few years, I’ve seen re-blooming irises - those bloom twice a year instead of once, usually around October, which is really nice.
I collect them and am happy to share them! The more unusual, the better.
The whites are my favorite, they are very large and perfect. My Amaryllis is starting to bloom too, I’ll post a photo next week.
Irises are pretty neat. We have some from the yard of the church where we were married but they seem to be fizzling for some reason. Only leaves, no flowers.
We also have a peony bush from my dad, who got his start from his mom, who got hers from her mom, who allegedly got hers from their old home in Wales in the UK. She must have tucked it in a trunk on one of their several Atlantic crossings. (The 3rd class scenes in “Titanic” would have been my great-grandparents’ sort of travel)
It’s a beautiful dark red when it chooses to bloom.
