Ah, what lovely Fleur de lis.

I like them too.
Butter and Sugar. Even the name evokes its beauty.

Mother has some similar to yours over at her old home. She told me the other day to be sure to go rescue them for my garden. :)

I have the wild water iris that I got from a ditch up in the Ozarks (Missouri). It is a bright yellow.

Yours are especially lovely in your beautiful garden setting.

Lovely. I think I had one....haven't seen it this year. In fact it seems my blue Siberians are down to just a few stalks. Maybe they aren't real long lived?

The tall stalks of flowers in front of your garden is very picturesque.

Thank you. This is only the second year for it.

I also had a blue gldno1, a very pale blue that I just loved. That plant grew and bloomed for years (in this same spot a little to the right), even when the myrtle (or periwinkle)groundcover tried to smother it, it would magically appear with this beautiful bloom. One year it didn't come back, but a couple years later one baby stalk grew. I should have given it more attention instead of letting it go.

Annie, are you talking about the "Lemon Lillies"? My friend always admired those in West Virginia and brought a start to Ohio. She keeps saying she'll share but I'm not sure where I want them right now.

I like it. Its not one that I have as I started with Siberian Iris last year but it is a lovely pale yellow.

As a fan of siberian iris in general, the pale yellow of this one is outstanding.

After giving truckloads of them away, I still have too many clumps of 'cesar's brother' left to dig up and divide.

Didn't used to mind dividing them. But, as the years have passed the difficulties of the process has increased and so I won't be adding any more.

I still think they are wonderful for flower and foliage.

they're gorgeous!
