I have a terrible track record with these guys blooming (only two of eight clumps have ever bloomed in three years--I think I got duds from the Audubon Society), but when they do bloom I forget all about it.
It's lovely! We have Iris x pacifica and one I. tenax that hasn't yet bloomed, but we clearly need more for the Northwest Territory part of our garden.
OMG that flower is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteChris and I have started a wishlist (sort of) for the front yard: #1 - NO GRASS. I thought you would be pleased with our decision :)
Woohoo! You are close to Annie's Annuals--you could grow some amazing natives in your yard.
ReplyDeleteSeriously one of THE most beautiful flowers...the humble (but regal) Iris! I don't know why I don't have any of these yet (I stress the "yet") :-)

ReplyDeleteI have many Iris, but not that one: must remedy that.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's native, so you can be insufferable when people compliment it!

ReplyDeleteI'd really like to get some Douglas iris planted too--they look almost the same but they are taller. Bigger is always better in my mind. :)
