It's not one of CG's favorite types of iris, but it's nice to have some bold color in the garden this early. And of course, CG has only good things to say about the flower when he's in close proximity to the plant.
This year, the daffodils and iris are transitioning very well. The 'plain-jane' yellow daffodils were the first to bloom, but after a 'long' arkansas winter, any splash of color is welcomed. The more intricate double daffodils have been last to open-up (even a few more are still budding). So, these 'generic purple' iris are doing a good job over-lapping the daffodil blooms, and are making a strong introduction for what should be an intriguing and showy spring!
