Beautiful. what is the species of those short stemmed iris?
ReplyDeleteThe purple one is iris reticulata George, The first two lighter blue are iris reticulata Joyce and the darker one is iris reticulata Harmony. The paler iris is iris reticulata Katharine Hodgkin. At least, Jane that is what the labels said when we bought them.
DeleteThose are all really pretty blooms. I don't know why, my hellebores and snowdrops have all disappeared. I do especially like the second photo down.
ReplyDeleteWhen you look at the detail, Deborah the flowers are fascinating.
DeleteI love your Irises, do they come up every year? Mine don't always flower again. You have a few different varieties there. Really nice.
ReplyDeleteThe ones in the photo have all reflowered as they were planted last year or earlier, Annie. The pale coloured one has been planted for several years. In the past though we have planted bulbs that didn't reflower.
DeleteAfter saying they never come up again, I've just noticed them coming up in one of my pots under a dwarf blossom bush. They are in full flower!
DeleteTo someone living in a gray world (blech, snow and drizzle and gloom!), those colors are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been fairly grey and gloomy here too, Sue so early flowers are really welcome.
DeleteMakes my heart smile, seeing these Sue! I am the one living in the snow and fog today ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe have been threatened snow this weekend, Bren so soon the flowers may disappear.
DeleteWow Sue! It is so nice to see early blooms in your garden. We are under a blizzard watch here on Long Island as I write this!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that if we do get snow this weekend that it will just be a short flurry, Lee.
DeleteWorth their weight in gold at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed, Jessica.
DeleteYou are sooo lucky! We still have a foot of snow on the ground and plenty more to come.
ReplyDeleteIf we had the amount of snow that you have, Bonnie they would declare a national emergency. ☃️❄️🌨😄
DeleteI am very fond of the small iris, we have Katherine, she is not flowering here yet.
ReplyDeleteShe's a reliable lady, Brian.
DeleteLovely. I've got hellebores flowering but no snowdrops yet and my irises seem to have disappeared over the years.
ReplyDeleteThose are the only snowdrops that are out so far, Jo, the others are still in bud . Funnily enough they are a double variety. The only small clump of doubles that we have.
