Wee Iris

I have these blooming now. All at once.

none of these are tall bearded. The above pictured is about 15" in height.


This one only about 6" high.

I think for the first time since moving here 7 springs ago.

Little Yellow is about 8" high.

Spring took a long time in getting here but it seems to all be working out ok.

This guy blooms about 15" tall.

But then.

These are about the same, 15" tall.

Close-up

Chilly nights are the forecast for the week once again.

Mother's Day purchases, including tomatoes, will wait for planting.

Prudence dictates!

Lovely flowers! I haven't got a garden, but I have certainly been enjoying all the lovely blossoms springing up around town.

Isn't spring in the Rockies fun? I see we have possible snow on the way again Wednesday ;)

I am so jealous of your beautiful iris. I try to console myself with excuses -- our yard is too shady and the ground is too soggy. My favorite: She has the iris gene from her mother.

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.

Becky, I thought I left a message early this morning but I don't see it. THe word veri was giving me fits.

I am trying again ...

Hold off on those tomatoes for a bit! We had a freeze warning here last night but it only got down to 35 degrees. Brrrr! I can't wait to get my tomatoes started in pots on the deck. Can't plant them in-ground because the squirrels pick them while still green, take a bite and throw them on the ground. Bad squirrels!!

"Your" iris have HUGE foliage/flags this year but I don't see any buds coming ...

After a few lovely spring days, it is cold, rainy and windy. The peonies that are blooming are now saggy! and the blooming trees have most of the blooms on the ground. I suppost that if the sun would shine, it would look better! Your blooms are so pretty!

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
