Pretty photos, EdB. Are those the old-fashioned lavendar iris that smell like grape bubblegum? :cool: I love those and my patch of them is absolutely HUGE and flush with blooms this year. My favorite iris are still the old-fashioned ones with scent. I think I have Flavescens as another favorite scent that's blooming for me now. I love the scented flowers at this time of year!!!

hey Party
Yes, those Iris are very fragrant, not sure of the name, but old fashioned fits them to a tee.
The smell of spring, sweet!
