Plants – Purple Iris

The purple Iris plants growing in my garden are another one of my “Old Reliables.” Every year, whether wet or dry, cold or unseasonably hot, they bloom without fail. When the sun shines through their thin, but durable petals, they glow with regal grace. The “Culture of Iris” is easy, plant the rhizomes in early summer and the following spring you will reap the rewards.

This year I am determined to watercolor a painting of my gorgeous iris plants.

  1. I have my first iris–finally! I had to (get my husband and son to) rip out the bushes around the mailbox, because that’s the only place that I get full sun. And, out of four iris bulbs, one blossomed—but still, I have that glorious “one”!
