Iris in Full Glory



This has been a great iris year!

Driving by people's yards around town...it is evident that everyone's Iris germanica (bearded iris), Iris ensata (Japanese iris), Iris cristata (crested iris) have bloomed beautifully!

Here's a photo of an Iris pallida (variegated iris) in full bloom at the nursery...



This iris pallida (variegated iris) flower has a wonderful grape scent and striking lavender-blue coloration, while the leaves are a cream and blue-green vertically striped. Great low-maintenance, June-flowering perennial!
