Both at our last home and here the brilliant blue Dwarf Iris is the first flower to bloom. And it opened its petals magically yesterday morning, all 6 plants. I can feel the joy just looking at them.
I suspect I'm going to have more photos to share now, so I'm going to switch to posting-when-I-have-photos-available for the spring, summer and fall months. Hope spring has arrived where you are too!
My mother had a big patch of them. I would love to get them growing here but didn't manage to find any the last two years. I'm going to ask a local (large) nursery if they can find them for me.
ReplyDeleteKaren. my wife was able to order some online last year, so se now have additonal plants blooming out back.
DeleteThat deep colour is so stunning, spring is in your garden for sure. Down here, cold mornings, down duvet has replaced the lightweight summer one, and I lit the fire yesterday!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I am surprised that they are the first flowers since they look so delicate.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Yay! Spring…
ReplyDeleteIt is a grand entrance to spring by having such a wonderful flower in bloom. I bet your wife was really excited.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue Irises. Just yesterday I checked mine for buds. None yet.
ReplyDeleteGlorious.
ReplyDeleteThe irises are beautiful! At first I thought it was a butterfly before I scrolled down.
ReplyDeleteSpring is coming on but not nearly as advanced as in your yard. For now I live vicariously through those who are seeing spring.
I saw Round-lobed Hepatica in a local woodlot yesterday. Yep, spring is here!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful little flowers!
ReplyDeleteI hope your predicament with the lack of PSWs is soon over. It must be so darn difficult.
I can feel your joy through the pictures, they are such beautiful little Irises.
ReplyDeleteI love to see 'firsts' popping up and watching hostas pop and grow each day are another favourite.
Yay, spring is beginning to show her lovely attire!
What a beautiful flower!
ReplyDeleteSure do like those Dwarf Iris flowers.
ReplyDeleteThose are simply gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing their beauty with me...
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous. Shouting out "spring is here!!"
