They are so beautiful and they smell sooo good. My husband especially enjoys them. Over the years in his landscaping business, he has planted hundreds of irises for his customers. He really enjoyed the work and learned so much about flowering plants. I know he will enjoy these photos from home while he is away. (We love you and miss you Drew!)
I was expecting them to all be the standard purple for some reason, like this...
Here is a picture of one of our beds. You can see our greenhouse in the upper left corner...sort of. Over there is where Silas's beds are and the soon-to-be strawberry beds.
Once more began to open, this is what we saw: This peachy, sweet-smelling beauty!
And these crimson irises! More are coming every day.

The peach iris is lovely, it reminds me of fluffy frosting on a cake!
Ann, that is exactly what I was thinking but I didn't know if anyone else would relate! Can't you just imagine a 2 layer white cake with that beautiful peach frosting and maybe a mint garnish?? Can you tell I'm hungry? :)
When I saw that first lavender iris I found myself instantly inhaling as if I could smell it! I sure do love those. I'm glad they did't freeze. Sorry I'm not home to enjoy them with you! Tell the boys they must walk around and inspect them every day! I would if I were home.
