Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
And yesterday, right near those two I took a picture of this first-time-on-BetterMost Blue (or is that purple?) Edged White (and blue) Iris
The Iris are almost finished their reign in my garden, but oh what a way to go!
Sheriff Roland:
Just noticed that I'd taken another picture of that 'edged' iris two days ago. However I had not set the 3 pics I took two days ago into photoshop. So I've got some catching up to do.
Including this unusual Yellow (or should I say Golden?) Ridge-edged Iris growing in that very busy north-west corner of the front yard.
Sheriff Roland:
The iris area just behind the garage was a bit of a disappointment this year - many of the burgundy iris that grew there last year are doing well in the front yard, but whatever happened to the dark blue iris that made quite a show back there the last 3 years? And last year that's were the 'surprise' lavender iris bloomed. They're a no-show this year. Here's a couple of stems (yup, just two) that gave a decent show some 5 days ago.
Sheriff Roland:
A coupl'a posts ago, I mentioned a very busy north-western corner of the front yard. I'd already highlighted the (now spent) Purple Tulips, the Dwarf Bi-coloured (green/blue) and Yellow Iris, the Yellow Buttons, the Ornamental Sage. In addition there are a few of the true Blue Siberian Iris, the Ridged Golden Iris and the yet-to-be-highlighted White Siberian Iris.
Ths is the first of two pics of that area. View looking South.
Sheriff Roland:
I guess that's how I do it (or should I say, Bryan does it) - the often asked question about so much variety in a relatively limited amount of space. More than one plant can share an area if they have dif'rent blooming 'seasons'.
In this view, the Blue Lupins, the Seathrift and the (as yet unfeatured) Yellow Peonies can also be seen, as they are a little further up the hill. (Easterly view)
