Copper iris (Iris fulva), a Louisiana iris, growing by the pond in early June. This is its first season and I hope to see it spreading in years to come. A brief spot of color, like most irises, but it adds a unique color to the spring panorama.Here are two blossoms in shade and sun.
Such a beautiful flower!

I really like that color - can't get enough of those smoky oranges.

Looks like we had the same idea. I might order more, yet.
ReplyDeleteLes, it's a small bit of color but a unique one at that time of year.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin, it's apparent we are destined to plant the same plants. I recently saw Wild Quinine at Chanticleer, a great garden outside Philadelphia and was quite taken with it. Do you already have it in your garden?
ReplyDeleteYes, I even put a pic up a week or two ago (not a great pic). Its "blooms" are very interesting!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've looked I remember seeing it on The Deep Middle, but forgot. Then I saw it again at Chanticleer. Now the image is fixed.
