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!

Gardening is going to be different this year. I am going to throw away all the guidelines and structure and just plant whatever…wherever. Don't be surprised if you see a 100 pound pumpkin laying on my front porch bannister. (Still very much attached to the vine) pic.twitter.com/gPCIxzuoz0

FIRST IRIS 2026

Published on: April 19, 2026April 19, 2026 by Vero Comment

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!!
