Season’s First Blooms: Irises
May 20, 2009 | 24 Comments
For the past week, we’ve had crazy weather, alternating between the heater and the a/c. A few days ago, we had a low of 31F, killing the cucumber plants. The day before yesterday, we had a high of 96F and today’s forecast says 70F. The irises don’t seem to mind, though.

mmm first to comment! These Irises look like tough women who were beautiful yet strong and can handle anything in life
Awesome shot, guys– irises have always been one of my favorite monocots
same here, the fickle weather almost killed all my herb plants, again. Brought them in and watered them with lukewarm water
The flowers look gorgeous.
Lovely flowers
They are lovely. Mine are purple. the double colored ones are beautiful to look at.
beautiful! And, lovely manicured lawn too!
Irises are one of my favorites. i have never seen this combination of colors tho! For a minute i thought that the 96 degrees kinda burned them! Then i saw the purple streaks in the yellow! How pretty.
The pictures are attractive! Even dried flowers look captivating through your lens

Awesome….looks really lovely..Enjoy Dear, for not everyone is blessed enough to cherish Nature’s bliss

I’ve always appreciated how sturdy irises are in contrast to their ethereal blooms. Also how easy they are to divide and share. Passalong plants are such a pleasure.
My f-in-law had a soft spot for irises, as did my mother. They are both dead now, but we have irises from both their gardens in ours. We’ve moved them around with us, and when the time comes they have gardens of their own, will joyfully divide and share them again with our grown children.
Thanks for the glimpse of your beauties – striking cultivar!
The weather here in Ontario is like that too. One day it is biting cold and the next day it’s sweltering hot. We moved here last month. I see that I have missed a lot of your posts, will be back.
Just pretty!
When I see your pics here, I just exhale and let it all out.
There’s always such a feeling of peace and tranquility in your pictures.
Truly GORGEOUS iris! Look at how they open from pistachio green buds. Love the stippling, striations, speckles & hues…WOW! Beautiful garden setting, too.
Lovely irises and beautiful photos! Envying the perfect lawn in the picture!
