Over the past few days the iris in our yard have been putting on quite a show. We’ve had such a problem with the deer eating our roses and daylilies that we have been planting iris around the outer edges of our property. Deer don’t like iris, so they can grow and bloom pretty much in peace.
We have many different varieties, but I have chosen three to feature in this post,
The first is Picasso Moon, a bold yellow that is Betsy’s favorite yellow iris. I’m not sure how it gets its name, but it sure does stand out.
The second iris is Second Fiddle. We’ve had this iris for several years, and it is a favorite. In my opinion it plays second fiddle to no other iris.
Daughter of Stars is a new iris for us this year. It is very vibrant and stands out in the flower bed. I’m sure this will become a new favorite.
That’s it for now, but we have many other beautiful blossoms that I will most likely be sharing in the future.
