On Monday evening, I took Claire out to see the iris growing in our backyard. They were still tightly bound into their deep purple tips. “I wonder when they’re going to bloom?” I asked.
The very next morning, I got my answer:
What a difference a day makes!


Ooh, may I please have this image for a desktop? I Iris is my favorite, even ahead of rose. I live on a wooded lot, and only get a few (3 – 6) blooms each year. Your picture has my favorite kind, purple with yellow beards.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow, they bloomed beautifully. It’s amazing all the different types of iris there are and they all come in such unique colors.
OH PRETTY!
Oh, I love these! I have purple iris, too, but they haven’t bloomed yet. They need to have a longer shelf life, because they are too pretty only last a few weeks.
I think it’s pretty but I have also thought that they are kind of creepy, too. Lovely purple.
Beautiful! And what perfect timing!
Wow! Beautiful Iris! I forgot how much I love them, we had them in my back yard as a child.
