How's your iris season?
We're having a long, cold, wet spring and the irises are just not showing off as well as they would if we could just get a little sun and warmth. Lots of pretty flowers about but few big displays with lots of blooms open at once. I've been busy taking photos and cleaning up the beds so have had little time to post pics. Here's a few that are blooming now..

Andi - I am so glad you and Kara had a good time and the weather cooperated with us. And thank you for the arisaemas. You are welcome anytime to see your babies in their new home.

Those are beautiful. Such pretty deep colors.
We were hot but a lot of rain. I do not know if I did not get a lot of blooms because I moved everything from my old house to my new house or if it was because of all the rain. Maybe I will have a better show next year.

Re: How's your iris season?
We were extra hot and fairly dry and we have the best crop of Iris we've seen in years. Sorry that yours aren't doing so well Mike, but those pics still look great
Re: How's your iris season?
These are the two I have blooming so far. Both were gifts and I have no idea what the names are.
Happy Gardening,
Diane
