The early summer flowers are almost over..

A few of the pleasures that bring me joy!

The one I'm most proud of... "Black Velvet"

One of the last purple bearded.

The last "Cream & Sugar" I was really surprised to have it turn out with a bluish tint to it. It's really a pure white and slightly yellow. Maybe it's because I took this in full west sunlight.

I have no idea where this iris came from. I can only assume it was one planted by a previous tenant. It produces less flowers every year. This year it produced the one just below it on the stalk and the one blooming here. I've been here eight years now, so perhaps it is cycling down. While not one I would planted, it is still a pretty bloom.
