Iris for Debra

My iris started about a month ago. The deep purple iris are my favorites, although I love all of them. We have them around the yard, but in particular down the side of the driveway. My intention was to have the deep purple iris and the bright yellow iris blooming at the same time, but Mother Nature knows best, I guess. The purple ones are mostly finished now, and the yellow ones are blooming their heads off right now, all around the yard.

Amber and Abby ‘walked’ in the yard with me this morning. (Abby was less enthusiastic about all the walking around than Amber (who kept running back and forth), but she luxuriated in the warm and the sunshine just off the driveway pad.)

I have these blooming all over the place right now. My ‘fancier’ ones are just starting to bud and bloom.

Kind of a mauve color.
One of the fancier ones – a bright yellow with burgundy accents.
Color is halfway between the pale yellow and the pale mauve.

The rest of the walk around the yard shows how MUCH weeding and pruning I need to do.

In among all the weeds is a rose bush with Rio Samba Rosebuds getting ready to open. I don’t know what the name of the purple flowers are, but they are nice perennials.
More Rio Samba roses, with one blooming and several buds among more weeds…
A different purple perennial flower. The iris were the deep purple variety.
