Iris Time!

 We have a lot of reblooming bearded iris plants around the yard.  Reblooming means that these plants bloom twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Living where we live, they seem to bloom all year.  We had at least some of them in bloom all winter, but now they are coming into full glory.

We have about forty different varieties and each one has its own color pattern identity.  They are gorgeous and smell divine.

The southeast exposure seems best for them.  There the house and garage block the wind a bit and they get full morning sun and beyond.

I have a whole new bed started also this year with twenty-six more varieties.  They are such a joy and do well on the island.
