Betsy and I are fortunate to be able to enjoy iris at various locations in our yard. I like iris not only because they are beautiful but also because they require relatively little care (unlike our roses!).
When Betsy and I started getting serious about our yard, we discovered that there were such things as reblooming iris. Most of the iris we have are rebloomers, so we can enjoy the blossoms twice a year. It’s rather like doubling our pleasure.
The iris in the header is Cantina. This beauty has been in our yard for several years, and I always marvel at the color.
Clarence is another iris that we’ve enjoyed over the years. It is in the flower bed near the road, so we share it with people passing by.
One of our newer iris is Lemon Duet. This is actually the first time it has bloomed for us in October, but we’re very glad it did.
My Friend Jonathan has been a good friend and has put on a spring and autumn show ever since he joined our yard.
Double Your Fun is a newer iris for us as well. The drought kept it from developing normally, but the colors are still gorgeous, so I could leave it out.
I hope you’ve enjoyed our autumn iris blossoms as much as we do.
