Iris “Concertina” hasn’t bloomed for three years.
It has chosen to put up two scapes this year

I have an iris coming into bloom that looks like it might be this one. I sure hope so!! I haven’t seen it in several years. I have no idea what the name is. It was in a bag of donated iris my mother-in-law gave me years ago.

Hey Mother Nature! It’s time to stop snowing and start growing!

How exciting!!!
The first Iris of the season sneaked in on me. I had my eye on a dark purple tall bearded iris which was just starting to unfold. I just knew it was going to be the first one to bloom.

Going out for my morning stroll yesterday, I spotted…way down at the end of the yard…. a FLOWER!

Not quite as showy as the fancy, frilly cultivars but nevertheless most welcome!!

Looking forward to a wonderful summer in the garden.

One of my good friends made this for me.
Thank you so much Isabella!!
