When I was growing up people would pull off the road just to admire my Mother's Iris beds. She has all colors, hundreds all in rows, very pretty. When I was visiting her 2 summers ago she gave me some bulbs, last year they were OK, but this year I think they are going to be just as beautiful as the ones I remember growing up, only on a much smaller scale. I believe she only planted the common bearded Iris, I think it is because she could plant so many colors. http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/info/flowers/perennials/beardediris.asp, I like to refer to this website, especially for perennials.
Here is the 1st ones that have bloomed, I will post more as they all bloom. Thanks Mom for having these flowers be a part of my life...
