Thank you all for posting your pictures. Between the rain and wind it has been a rough spring. A tree branch came down and flattened my iris bed. Then the chain saw wielder stepped on those that had survived the limb. My siberians are done and the japanese iris are in bloom, with the water lilies as a backdrop.

Would anyone like to swap an ensata for this no name beauty? I bought it several years ago at a big box store and it was mislabeled. I had divided it before blooming so have several good size clumps to share. I have them planted along the pathway to the pond, they grow quite tall and are graceful looking. I would describe the color as lilac, or pinky lavender.
