Cable Car iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 20, 2012.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
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.
I love the color of Cable Car (above). Cable Car is in a couple of our flower beds, including one along the border of our big rose bed.
Summer Olympics iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 15, 2012.
Summer Olympics is in a bed that gets more shade than some of the others. This year’s blossom seems to be more gorgeous than usual, which is appropriate since the Olympics will be held this summer.
Orange Harvest iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 21, 2012.
Orange Harvest blooms along the front of the house, greeting people who pass by.
Stellar Lights iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 16, 2012.
Stellar Lights is one of the oldest of our irises. But it is also one of the most vibrant blossom we have.
Tennessee Vol iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 21, 2012. (Photo by Betsy)
Finally we have Betsy’s favorite — Tennessee Vol. I think she would like anything with that name, but this iris is beautiful. It’s only appropriate that I use a photo that Betsy has taken.

I love irises they come in such a range of colours. My favourite of yours would have to be Summer Olympics.

Those orange ones would be fantastic for a bed that I have planned. I call it my ‘Go Big Orange’ bed – only orange and white flowers:)

I’m used to just seeing blue irises….didn’t realize they come in so many other colors!

All of them are gorgeous but today’s favorite of mine is the Orange Harvest.

i really love the orange harvest, but it looks more peachy compared to the last one. But then again each time i look, I change my favorite!

Everyone of them is a winner in my eyes.

Sensational… I split my iris last fall… so mine are a little sparse. Next year they will be back.
