Look what greeted me when I came home from work today. I didn't even know there was a bud! This guy is my earliest bloomer, and the name eludes me. Perhaps Dearest Sister will recognize the little fellow and recall it's moniker.
Hand for scale....
He is really an itty bitty one, my smallest, in fact, and was transplanted from a less desirable area last fall. Blooms are generally unexpected the first year after transplanting, so this is a real gift. Especially because it is my first iris bloom of the year! I. Am. So. Excited!
And these ladies have on their best perfume. The fragrance of hyacinths is the smell of spring for me. The neighbors have to pardon me as I get down to enjoy these beauties.
Oh, I know where I live....I know we will probably have more freezing temps! I think it makes it all the sweeter.

Ah my dear friend.....you do have a green thumb! Looking at your beautiful flowers makes me want to go out and garden. Then I remember that I tend to kill plants without even trying.
Insert huge dramatic sigh here)
