Lots of Irises
Woman in the Middle | April 15, 2017It is spring, and flower shows are popping up everywhere! On here way to work (on a Saturday, ugh!) Youngest Daughter saw a sign for an iris show just a few minutes from my house. I decided to stop by after a little shopping trip, and I am glad I did. It was a small show, but the irises were so pretty and I love the smell of them as well. I took a few photos to share, of course.
This was the overall best in show winner. It isn’t quite clear from my photo, but all these blooms and buds are on one iris stalk.
I am always amazed by the two toned iris flowers. They are so beautiful!
My favorites are always this pretty pink/peach color. I just love the delicate color. It is funny, but this bouquet also is using horsetail, which I have been trying like heck to get it out of my yard, because it is very invasive.
There were quite a few beautiful bouquets, featuring irises of course.
I love irises. If they bloomed longer or more often, I’d have them all over my yard. As it is, I have a lot of them. I am partial to blue tones. Not many flowers are true blue. Beautiful pictures.
I am a lazy gardener. I want it to go in the ground and do its thing. Irisis take too much work. But I love to see them anyway.
Griff and I love irises (irii?
I know, what is the plural? I love them, just don’t like what you have to do to have them in your yard. So, I go to iris shows!
Oh so pretty
