More Irises in Bloom

The irises are really blooming now, purple, yellow, and white all at once. They’re making a beautiful display in my hillside garden. I have some bi-colored yellow and purple irises, but so far they’re still in hiding.

I planted them on the hillside, with the daylilies and both are doing very well. I’ve had to give away some of the irises when they’ve grown out of their boundaries. I usually don’t have too much problem finding them new homes. They do spread rather quickly, but they’re easy to pull out, and move around.

Hope you had a great weekend! It wasn’t too bad for gardening here, a little windy. I held off on putting my tomato plants out yet, because we have frost watches for the next couple days.
