| Iris bed |
These beautiful flowers come courtesy of a Friend of the Farm. She comments here all the time and she wanted to share pictures of her iris beds with us. As soon as we saw them, we said "this is something we want to do!" and that makes it an inspiration photo (or two in this case) for us. She did some great planning with these...there is something that is calming about a sea of color like this and of course iris flowers are SO pretty.
We will definitely have to plan some beds like this. A big thank you to her for sharing her pretty yard and adding something new to our future 'want list'.

Be inspired!
oh my I want them on my "want /must do/must have list" too
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Her yard is bursting with gorgeous color. A lot of love and labor went into that display. Just the picture we need on a cold, cloudy winter day.
ReplyDeleteThis is inspiring me to dig up and re-locate my old iris bulbs. Their flower bed has become too shady, so lately they have not bloomed well.
And, they smell so good when they are blooming. Pick up some rhizomes when you get a chance cuz they are expensive at a nursery or those kind of places.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always so much fun to read! And you have so many great links too. I love iris but have been discouraged when told they have to be dug and separated every couple of years or they stop blooming. At my age (69) I want things that stay put with no effort from me.
ReplyDeleteThey are right on top of the ground sometimes. But, digging is not for me, either. Mine have never been dug. They don't seem to mind. I just stop and tell them I will dig them up next year.
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteIrises are so pretty and can really brighten up and add color to ones yard
ReplyDeleteAnd, they come back year after year and multiply.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! It makes me want to do the same. I love all the different colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous. And I am an iris addict as well. And lilies. And roses. And spring bulbs. And, and, and...
ReplyDeleteI have purple, lavender, and one pink. My goal is white and yellow, too. I love that picture.
ReplyDeleteThey are practically indestructible as well as beautiful. My mother had them in her yard. When her house sold and was remodeled, the yard was scraped and re-landscaped. There was no sign left of the irises, but they came back stronger than ever.
ReplyDeleteI love iris, too, and we have lots of old fashioned varieties...I just wish they lasted a while longer. For most of the year, they don't do anything, and they don't play well with other flowers, so you have beds that are pretty dull for 11 months. Well worth the show, but one has to plan the placement of the iris beds carefully, so they aren't the focal point of the garden.
ReplyDelete1st Man,
ReplyDeleteHaving flowers on the property are always inspiring. Thank you friend for the lovely pictures.
I'm biting at the bit to start planting my flower beds, and vegetable garden. The last bit of our snow is melting and should be gone by tomorrow morning. I believe that's when I will be finally uncovering my planted onions, along with working on our fencing.
I hope whover this belongs to reads this, it's SO pretty, I'm jealous. I wonder what you do when they aren't in bloom? Or maybe it's green most of the year? Either way, it's just stunning.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! The commitment of time and energy and of love shows through, glows through! Thank for sharing FM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden patch! I have been able to grow a few iris on my mountain. They will bloom late June into early July. I also love the foliage when they are done flowering.
