This one was blooming in my friend Rob’s garden this weekend. In my research to identify this particular Iris (I’m still stumped!), I came across this site below. Take a look at all their gorgeous Bearded Irises!

This is amazing! I feel like I’m there, entranced in every petal. 🙂
These irises are all spectacular. My grandfather had HUGE beds of iris in his gardens when I was just a little kid – in the mid 1950s – and I remember him taking one and chasing me with the flower tip, tickling me. Sounds like he didn’t take proper care of his iris, but he really did. We both loved his gardens mightily!
