There's one flower I look for every spring, and for a decade it's been the bright royal blue Dwarf Iris. The Daffodils will come, and we'll really enjoy them, but the tiny Dwarf Iris marks spring for me.
These are growing right outside our front door, in a tiny strip of garden between the sidewalk and the front porch. Just got out there and took these pictures this minute!
That is so exciting! It is really here!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. That must be a nice sunny spot for them. I will have to get out & about in the neighbourhood to see if I can spot any of them.
ReplyDeleteLove those beauties. Ice pellets in the forecast here. Nothing blooming yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful deep colours, and to capture them right now, surely the spring has arrived at your home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little flowers, I don't think I've ever seen them with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteI look for the native crocus out in prairie habitat.
ReplyDeleteI like those Dwarf Iris flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour little Dwarfs are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSweet little flowers. It's funny how certain tiny things can have such resonance in our lives.
ReplyDeleteThe name iris reticulata springs to mind, but I am probably wrong because I haven’t been into flowers very much for quite a long time. I mean, we have a garden still, but the same plants come up every year, and we fill in with pots of annuals these days.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! What a wonderful sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I always look for them up on the Bruce Peninsula when I am there in spring, but it has been awhile. So nice to see that you have them at your door!
ReplyDeletethey are so pretty and the color is lovely. purple always looks so beautiful in spring, and that pop of yellow within the bloom is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful little iris! Thanks for sharing with us!
