Cantina Iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 15, 2012.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
I’ve already shared two posts of our irises this Spring — you can see them HERE and HERE.
We’ve been very pleased with our irises this year. We have many more blossoms than we did last year, and we’re enjoying them every day. They make some of the hard work in the yard worth while.
Cantina has one of the more unusual blossoms among our iris. At first glance it looks purple, but closer inspection shows orange, blue and white in the petals as well. Cantina is in our front flower bed.
Halloween Halo iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 15, 2012.
Another iris in our front flower bed is Halloween Halo. I guess it gets its name from the yellow trim around the falls and the orange beard. It may not be as showy as some of our other iris, but I like it.
Hemstitched Iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 8, 2012.
Hemstitched is a pretty blue-and-white iris (even the beard is blue)in our side flower bed. We’ve had this iris for several years.
Waltz Across Texas iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 11, 2012.
This yellow-and-white iris, Waltz Across Texas, should be one of Betsy’s favorites since she spent several years in Texas. This iris has waltzed across several of our flower beds.

Nice shots as always. I believe we did fast forward thru spring or maybe it was our winter months.

You and Betsy do have the most gorgeous, colorful iris that I’ve ever seen! I can only repeat what the others have written! And I, too, love their names! Delightful way to start my day! Hope you both have a lovely weekend, George!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am in awe of the energy, time and effort you invest in your yard. It can’t be an easy job. Oh, but the results are amazing!

They are all beautiful, each have their own special beauty and I cannot pick a favorite! But Waltz Across Texas is the most exciting and romantic name i have ever heard!!! The only thing better would be Waltz Across Vienna!

Love the halo iris. I can see where a person could get quite an iris collection with so many varieties!

Irises are amongst my favourite flowers – with black (or at least very dark) the ultimate!! Although when touring our local iris garden each spring I find that the iris I am looking at is my favourite – at least for that moment!!

I love Iris… I love their form, their fragrance…their colors!!

[…] All of our iris have now bloomed, so this will be the last post about these beauties in our yard. You can catch the earlier post HERE, HERE and HERE. […]
