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.
