Summer is here to far as I’m concerned. My iris are blooming! The top one is a Harvest King bearded iris, the bottom two are old fashioned iris that were already in the garden (though buried within the rampaging rose bush).
I have two other colors of the large bearded iris that are budding, but not yet blooming, and I also have a small clump of Siberian iris in the front of the house that will probably get moved this year as it’s being overrun by the azalea.
