These two pics I took today, one of course is rosey, she seems to be doing well after all that water we gave her last night, and if I am not wrong, the one of the Iris is verigated! I noticed that it was a lot lighter in color and had some darker color in the lower leaves, I thought maybe it was the way the sun was shining thru the lattice and then I saw it was different colors. How interesting is that? But anyway nature has a lot of surprises she loves to throw at the novice gardener, and although I grow a lot of flowers, I still consider myself a novice. I thought maybe you can tell me if this is a rarity or just like I said, one of natures tricks.
