Irises


Another beautiful day in my neighborhood. Actually it was a cool, gray day, but these gardens looked lovely. The stream and pool are practically naturalized. The lilies and variegated irises live in the muddy bottom of both pools and act as natural filters. Other plants are growing in the stream, which is lined the entire length with rubber.
The Siberian irises need to be divided this year. Pretty spectacular now though. Behind them are double knockout roses with pink Bonica in the middle. New plants in a new raised bed which should get nice and full. jc

  1. Lovely. I'll bet the air is sweet with that "iris-y" fragrance. A fond memory scent for me.
