Siberian Irises are blooming

The White and blue Siberian Irises that I planted in our front boulevard have been blooming for close to two weeks now. The plant clumps have grown quite large and they are just full of lovely flowers like this little beauty.

They make a gorgeous display and I hope that people walking by on the sidewalk on their way to work each morning enjoy the flowers.

In the backyard the German Irises are just about done blooming but there are still a few of these lovelies to be seen –

There many different types of irises, but I’ve only tried growing three or four different types so far. My favorites are the Siberian iris and a tiny spring iris called Danfordiae. The last is an early spring blooming dwarf iris that’s absolutely lovely.

Do you grow irises or other spring flowers? ARe they finished blooming now?

    Very beautiful photos Tricia! Out of curiosity since you didn’t include the info with your tags. What type of camera are you using?

    Hi Tricia,
    I’m sure they made a gorgeous display & are appreciated by all who are lucky enough to walk by each day.

    You’ve certainly captured their beauty with your photos.

    Pretty irises! Well, my spring has long past–but I do have a lot of container flowers in February through May–our spring. Also in the fall, from mid-September till first frost.
