My very first Japanese Iris came into bloom this week and I just could not believe how beautiful it was. I grow lots and lots of other flowers, mainily daylilies and irises, and nothing can compare to this bloom on Ensata Light At Dawn. The flower is large, so elegant, gracefrul and full of substance. A rain storm later in the day knocked my first bloom down off the plant and I picked it up and brought it indoors, placing it in a glass of water. It lasted several days and I would look at it every time I went past it. Looks like I may have to start a knew passion and move out some of my other plants to make room for more Japanese Irises. They are just lovely plants. Thank you Julianna for introducing me to them by sharing with me!
