    Beautiful! My iris foliage is growing lots everyday, but still no sign of any flower buds yet.

    Gorgeous blue/purple and the lighter ones are pretty too. The bed must have a lovely flow to it with all of those shades of purple. Iris are so pretty. The caretake does a good job.

    Those iris's are really exotic. The colours are so remarkasble. I hope that you will have more to show as time goes on.
