Ha, made you look :-D Actually it is just...just? No way is this a 'just' this is the first Purple Bearded Iris of 2007 for me. There appear to be at least a dozen more in this small patch by the backdoor and another dozen in the patch in front of the picket fence with the other Iris. This is what I look forward to most every spring. I get to go out every morning for a few weeks, gently cup each bloom in my hands, breathe deeply and bring back memories of purple popsicles from the ice cream man on hot summer afternoons.
OOO I'm really jealous. My beardies are only a few inches out of the ground. I see more buds are about to open too - lovely.
Toni that is gorgeous!! I could almost smell the grape popsicles as you were describing the smell!!lol! It must be absolutely amazing in real life!!
