Japanese Iris*

The Japenese Iris are now blooming in the front bed amongst the river birch trees. CG has never seen them bloom before, nor does he remember planting them. They might have bloomed last year while he was away on a business trip.


Now, CG is able to be at home and see the garden -almost everyday!
(there's that 'one weekend a month' deal)
(only 14 weekends to go!)
there was a 10 minute window when the sun came out this morning
we've had days upon days of rain!
the plants are loving the rain, but more breaks of sunshine would be most welcomed

there's probably a dozen of these iris blooming with more still budding

*CORRECTION:
these plants are Louisiana Iris (not sure how or why these were initially identified as Japanese iris, but they are of the Bold Pretender variety)
