The Iris Corner garden in the very front yard by my neighbors driveway has so many stalks and ready to burst into bloom. The strong rain of the past three days has unfortunately already messed up the blooms of Evening Tidings that is blooming there but at least there are more buds.

This corner iris garden is not a big iris garden but its a very favorite of mine because of its location surrounded by the roses and lilies to the back and sides. Last year at bloom season I only had the original part but I liked it so much I put in a second tier there and transplanted iris from other areas of the garden to give me the look I wanted. Which is exactly what this looks like this year. Plus it is out by the street so passersby also get to enjoy my blooms.
