Iris Time!

 Every time Trish and I get home this time of year we find new surprises!  This time it was the beginning of Iris season.  The first one we saw was already being admired by two visitors.  The little green frogs live everywhere. They sing to us at night and eat lots of mosquitos. We love them and are happy to share flowers with them.  The bumblebee is one of our appreciated pollinators. We welcome them anytime!


Other colors are right behind.  Many of these bearded ones are reblooming and will come out again in the fall.


Over in the next bed the Siberian Irises are just beginning.  They offer a different take on the Iris family.


A big surprise was just a round the corner from the bearded Irises.  It was our first Oriental Poppy!  Before the week was over there were really beginning to pop.  It is their first year and we didn’t know what we might get. What a lovely surprise!
