Look what popped open at my house this weekend!!
My Mom's coworker and friend Carl, is an Iris Farmer; he even hosted a very prestigious Iris Festival (now, I know it has a more sophisticated name which escapes me at the moment).
Anyway, he is very talented and hybridizes iris to get different colors, color combinations and traits. I toured his yard last summer...snazzy! He shares extra bulbs or some of his favorites with my Mom, who shares with me! I am a lucky girl!! I got several bulbs last fall; they all have really cool names... but I have no idea what they are.
What do I know? I love these flowers!!!! Thank you Carl!
Here's the one I will call "Pink Lady". I think it might be a "double" bloom. All I know for sure is that I love these flowers. Did I already say that? And, that pink looks pretty cool next to my brick too.
Yummy!
Look at these colors! Stinking cute!!
Look close, I even captured a few water droplets. Fancy pants!!

ReplyDeleteNot nice, not nice!!
ReplyDeleteHowever, (too quick on the enter button for mt own good!) I think I will have to split them this fall. If you would like, I will share with you!
ReplyDeleteIf you flowers are gone, they are sitting in my house. Better still, I might just even dig up the whole clumps.
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely stunning blooms, and of course we can tell you are so pleased with them.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.
I love Iris. Your are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh they are so beautiful! I love the Pink Lady. Wish I had a garden to grow some beauties like those. Thanks for sharing!
