Description
This is the first Iris that has bloomed for me this year. It's rather early for them to even contemplate blooming but we have had unusually warm weather this year and I think even the Irises are a bit confused. No matter the month, they are so pretty when they bloom.
This iris has been with me many years now and I still smile when she opens up, in all of her glory!
Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems which may be simple or branched, solid or hollow, and flattened or have a circular cross-section. The rhizomatous species usually have 3–10 basal sword-shaped leaves growing in dense clumps. The bulbous species have cylindrical, basal leaves.
