Your garden is simply gorgeous, Susie. Wonderful to take in on this chilly gray day here! Love the species iris, does your Salvia guarantica overwinter for you?
Chilly gray almost sounds good Eliza! It’s 86F here this afternoon and no rain in sight. Very lovely blue sky though I must admit. Salvia guarantica does overwinter, as have all of these shown today. It’s exciting to see them filling out.
Spring is doing it up right in your area, Susie! I never realized how much our Pacific Coast Iris (Iris douglasiana) flowers look like those of Iris tectorum until I saw your photo. Tectorum’s foliage is more attractive, though.
Both beardless. I have a hard time distinguishing irises.
Beautiful bloomers! And they look lovely with your beautiful white fence as a frame. 🙂
Thanks Beth! I’m grateful for that fence.
I’m having to repeat adjectives to describe your beautiful spring blooms. 🙂
I’m just one big sigh when I step out into the garden this week Judy.
Your irises are beautiful Susie! Really love that yellow one – pure sunshine!
Thanks Cathy. It’s been a happy iris season this year.
One big sigh? I know how that feels too, Susie! When did your clematis start flowering? Is 86F tyical for the end of April?
