Wow! That is beautiful. I have some bearded iris in my garden that's just begun to bloom. I love the purple against the yellow in the background. Excellent choice!

That IS a georgeous Iris! I lovee the picotee around the fall. All my irises are from friends, with a few bought ones. The lady I got the most from more than 40 years ago is dead, and they keep her in mind for me. Another lady I got some from is also dead. Thanks for the pic. Luciee {;^)
