Just opened despite our usual week of rain timed exactly to rot all the
iris buds just before opening - every year like clockwork. Most of my
irises are named varieties and plotted on a map of the beds, but I only
look them up when someone really wants to know the name or I divide one
- usually I just enjoy them.
Luscious. Beautiful fleurs.
