The Iris...

- a bold, elegant orchid like bloom, sword shaped pedals with basal foliage -
Their distinctive 6 petaled flowers have 3 outer hanging pedals and 3 inner upright pedals.
They can be bearded or crested but without a doubt, they are always spectacular,
Each color has its own special meaning.















Purple Iris - Most iconic, often linked to royalty.
Blue Iris - Symbolizes faith and hope.
White Iris - Represents purity and spiritual connection.
Yellow and Orange Iris - Bring cheer and warmth to any setting.

New beginnings are often linked to springtime blooms!

Nádherné kosatce, krásně vám rozkvetly. Také je pěstuji, mám modrofialové a ještě čekám na žluté.
Přeji radost z květů!

We live in VA, and my mama loved iris. She had them, then my brother, then I had them. I am 76 now, and am not able to tend to things outside since I had a stroke ?? years ago...(maybe 8 or so. )
Anyway I often check your blog, and your photos and trips are always fun to look at! Thanks for blogging --- so many people aren't anymore....
