It's amazing how nature works during the Spring... When one group of flowers quit blooming, another group begins!!!!! First we had our Crocuses/Hyacinths; then it was the Daffodils; then the Tulips; and now the Irises..... Guess what group is next for us????? OUR ROSES!!!!! Yeah! (Plus---we still have Lilies and Daylilies to come!!!! Yeah!)
Today (and again on Thursday) I will share all of the many different Irises we had this year... Our Irises bloomed and bloomed ---and I was THRILLED to see so many of them. We had 20 different varieties (most with lots and lots of blooms)... I'll share 10 of them today (plus some group shots) and the other 10 on Thursday...
Hope you enjoy seeing the irises. Click on them for enlargements. The one above is a 'group' one --showing you what some of our Road Flowerbed looked like when so many of them were blooming!!!! This photo was taken on 5/08/15.
