Update....

First of all, I wanted to inform you that after the little house wrens got their nest about half-way built, they quit coming.  I have no idea why.  I heard them around, but not on the porch.  Today I have yet to hear them anywhere else.  Even though I mostly regret that they didn't raise their babies, in ways I am relieved that I don't have to worry about one of my cats getting one.  So, I will just try to be happy with the situation.
***************
I started out with just one iris this color...now look at them!  Same with that one in the upper left-hand corner.  I had one of them and now probably have half a dozen.  I LOVE how they multiply.
I just hope it holds true for the one below.
It was in variety bag that I got a few years ago.  It is a beauty.

They are all actually slowing down...on the downhill side of blooming.  Not very many buds left on any of the colors now.  I sure have loved them.  They are one of my favorite flowers...along with pansies, hibiscus, foxglove, cone flowers, gladiolas....you get the idea:  you name it and it is usually a favorite.

  2. Beautiful irises. We have had alot blooming recently also. SO pretty. I love that light lavender color... Pretty!

    Sorry about your wrens. Wonder if one of the kitties scared them off...

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
    Hugs,

  6. The lavender ones are lovely but that bottom one has a gorgeous color although it's rather fall like in appearance.

  10. What an unusual one...love it! Love the purple and white ones too! I love petunias and used to be able to grow them like weeds, but something happened to my green thumb and now they won't grow for me. I think slugs eat their roots, or something....they just kind of shrivel up at the ground and die. Sad.

  12. Oh my gracious! The white/yellow/orange iris is stunning! I don't recall seeing one like that before. I think you should enlarge, print, and frame that image. I can see a Georgia O'Keeffe painting in there, too. I LOVE IT!
