KINGDOM OF IRISES
A friend thinned out her iris patch and gave me about 200 bearded iris bulbs! Well, you know me -- I have spent the past few days planting them all over the property. More FREE flowers!! Fortunately, it has been pouring rain all day & last night, so they are well watered. Next year this place will be fantabulous! I have no idea what colors they will be, so it will be interesting to find out -- IF we get to stay here, that is. By the way, the photo is just one I found on the web. But we have some like it. And IF we stay -- next, I get to thin out our own irises and replant them. More FREE flowers! Glory be. Hope your day is blooming...
Aren't all irises purple?
ReplyDeleteOh grief, girl! There are so many colors of irises: yellow, white, blue, purple, apricot, even black! And many designer colors and mixture of colors! Some can get pretty expensive. I got a fancy iris catalog this year and drooled over it for a bit before I threw it out, horrified by the prices.. I love them all. There are alot of yellow ones locally that catch our eye...
