Flora the Magnificent

My iris plants are drop dead gorgeous this year. Last year was nothing to blog home about because I had separated the bulbs the previous fall and I was warned that their recovery would skip a season. This photo depicts one replica but, of course, cannot do the reality justice. Also you have to envision 50 or more of them all at once. A profusion of glory. My peony bush, also usually nice, seems to be holding back, probably to let her sister Iris have the spotlight. Good thinking.
