Monochrome Monday/Golden Iris
Oh, the joy of Iris flowers. One of my favorite bicycle excursions around town was the year I took my camera and sought out as many photo opportunities as possible of local irises in private gardens.
The beautiful golden petals of the Iris I used in my In A Vase On Monday arrangement is unknown to me. It started as one or two plants, either purchased or given to me. It’s been so long; I truly can’t remember at this point. They have multiplied so well that I have them interspersed throughout many of my gardens.
Alongside the side fence, they are so densely packed that they are a good barrier to keep my neighbor’s grass from growing into my flower bed.
I’ve had the vase so long I don’t remember exactly where it came from, either. So, it is a perfect choice for the Iris of unknown origin.
Thanks to Cathy from Rambling in the Garden for hosting IAVOM.
So pretty!

They are such a good indication of mid-spring. I wish they bloomed on and on through summer.

I adore fences for backdrop. Miss my last 2 gardens that had fences.

Gorgeous! The yellow cloth behind your vase is such a perfect backdrop too! Isn’t it great when a plant you love spreads itself around so nicely. 😁

Yes, thank you, it is great when plants I love spread and multiply and do okay after I move them around the garden. I love plants that multiply and allow you to transplant or share with others.
