05/29/2006: "anniversary iris"
my folks gave us a gift certificate for iris for our anniversary, which we finally ordered, planted and are enjoying the blooms this spring. this one is called "adobe rose" and just opened a day or two ago. the roses below are from two little sticks that my mom trimmed off her rose bush and put in a pot. from that meager start, it is probably now 2 1/2 ft in diameter and send up about 5 new shoots this year. thriving! and finally another iris from the bunch. the pic is a little blurry because the wind has picked up, but this one is called "batik". i figure between the iris that were here when we moved in (pink and yellow), the ones from danielle's neighbor (lavendar), the miniatures that i put in two summers ago (deep purple) and the lovely new ones from last summer we have had about 200 iris blooms in the yard in the past few weeks.
