Glad everyone enjoyed the pictures. kaseylib, Neomarica gracilis, aka Walking Iris, Apostle Plant, hardy USDA Zone 8a-11. Rather likes the shade, some morning sun ok, also looks wonderful in baskets. The flower is borne on a stem that arches over, the flower only last one morning, after the flower falls off a new plant begins to form. If in the ground this plant roots in the ground, hence Walking Iris. They are great on the edge of a woodland setting. There is also a yellow flowering Walking Iris. You could grow it as a house plant, on the patio during warm weather and inside during winter. When they are in a pot and fully mature they have all the little plantlets hanging down and looks good even with no flowers.
That walking iris is a stunning flower! It's not hardy here I see. Your amaryllis look so fresh and I can't believe you've got daylilies blooming but of course you have, living in a much warmer area than me. I love the stripes on all the flowers. Stripes and spots are fun.
Oh Sharon your flowers are amazing. I love the walking iris (Blue and white are my all time favourite colours) and your amaryllis are gorgeous. I wish I could grow plants like that outdoors but, sadly, it's waaay too cold for them here in Scotland. I can grow bearded iris though although I don't have the lovely white one you have. Thanks for sharing you garden with us.
